Meet the kitten

We have finally got our new kitten!
Some of you will realise that there is a remarkable resemblance between Cara (our previous cat) and this one, and you would be right.
The new kitten (as yet nameless) is also a seal point Birman. The brown markings on her face, legs and tail will darken as she grows.



We picked her up from her previous home last night after the kids had swimming lessons. That was an adventure in itself as the house was in Papakura, and not in the township, but out about 10km into the surrounding farmland. We had very good directions to get there, although the part of the directions that we got off Google maps was the windier route to get there.


She managed well on her first night here, sleeping in the family room in her bed, although not all night... she came out from under the couch this morning. Still, I had half expected her to cry all night and wake me up, so in the end I was very pleased. It was actually Daryl that woke me up with a text from London at about 3am that said simply "miaow". He was in a painful mood it seems. I have however had my revenge, by texting the very same "miaow" back at around 2:00pm this afternoon, which converts to around 3am in London.

She has quickly decided that she likes her bed, and like this evening, will just wander over and hop in to have a sleep.

Sorry about the quality of the photos, she is too curious for easy photographs!

We will be sure to tell you her name.... once she has one.
