The Pussy Cats.x

Twinkle and Belle (or Bella depending on who calls her) have really been growing and finding their feet since joining us a few weeks ago.



Twinkle (L) and Belle (R)



I tell them they are beautiful every day and The Chap picks one up, gives it a rub and chortles "Hello, Fatty!"

For someone who would rarely have touched a cat a few months ago after a nasty incident as a toddler, I am now Cat obsessed. It is a bit sickening really.

Whilst the idea of having two sisters from kittens has worked out really well, as both The Chap and I work long hours, the downside is they can be self sufficient and tend to leg it away from us when we enter a room. Unless of course we enter the kitchen in which case that automatically translates as

"FOOD, CHARGE !!"

The Chap has invented a new game "Cat Fishing" when you grab a bag of pussy cat treats and chuck a few in their general direction watching them skid around in pursuit, before bringing them closer and closer to us through judicious throwing of the treats.

However as the evening wears on and the "girls" get tired, they creep closer and closer until one settles on your lap. Belle cannot get enough of general paw rubbbing in the "round and round the garden" style whilst Twinkle likes to lie on the sofa at neck height occassonally tapping your neck or shoulder with a little paw.

Really very very cute.

However, I will sound one note of caution... Be very careful when your other half utters the immortal line

"I have found the ultimate scratching post!"

Sigh..

Frugally yours
