tolerant Muffin with her best friends

I've been trying to get a few photos at random moments when Muffin is either looking especially cute or being interactive with us all! This usually means they're just caught on my phone so not always the best quality but you'll get the idea ...

Muffin is very tolerant of being picked up and carted around! Whether that's by Nick (see above), Izzy (who is only 4 and Muffin dangles all over her arms! I'll try to catch that soon!) or Caitlin (see below). Caitlin is 9 but very tall for her age - this pic gives you some idea of how much Muffin has grown!

The "handleability" of Muffin is one of the best things about her. For the girls particularly its a real joy to have a cat that is happy to be picked up. Muffin joins in all their games, we often find her cast in a role in some make believe game like Cinderella! Those games work quite nicely (although I don't know if Muffin fully appreciates what she's doing!) - the girls are less impressed when she tries to play "fetch" with the Polly Pocket toys or the counters off Snakes and Ladders!!

The last 2 pictures hopefully show her amazing markings - so many of our friends comment on how beautiful she is - even those that aren't cat fans!

I showed her the pictures of her new half brothers and sisters (see Tikki's blog) but she wasn't at all impressed!! If they have the temperament of Muffin they'll be wonderful to have around!
