look at her grow!!

Well our little kitten is just NOT SO LITTLE anymore! No-one can believe she's not even 6 months old yet :o)

Muffin continues to be a real pleasure in the house! When we come home from work or when we come downstairs in the morning we're greeted by a chorus of chirrups and twitters that clearly states "where have you been? I've missed you! I've saved my purple feather for you - can we play now?" and her toys are lined up across the floor ready to go!

Her purple feather toy is her favourite and she and Izzy (our 4 year old) play with it endlessly, Izzy dangling it and running up and down the hallway chased by the fluffy assassin Muffin! The purple debris across the carpet is less amusing!! Muffin has a range of "caves" to pounce from at unsuspecting pieces of paper, balls, bits of fluff, stringy bits, pen tops that the kids have left on the floor....she crouches, wiggles her bum and POUNCE.....it's caught in those big paws!

Our friends think she is quite amazing - especially the paws! Several have debated if she actually does have opposable thumbs cos of her extra toe...we're waiting to see if she learns to pick locks, drink from a cup and write with a pen!! Her markings are also quite stunning. The chestnut fur on her back is very clear and the fur on her legs is an amazing silvery colour with the stripes very clear against it. Her ears are still just gorgeous!

Enjoy a few more pics anyway - the poor cat is fed up with me constantly putting a camera in her face..... the price of beauty eh?!
