Title: She's home......!!
Post by: Kittybabe (Ruth) on April 14, 2007, 17:36:25 PM
Well.. this morning the Stork arrived... and dropped our bundle of joy in our little home.

Teresa and Rob delivered our baby Estella home and little miss has taken to the house as if she lived here all her life.  Lexy has not had the pleasure of meeting her little sister, but has sniffed around, so let's wait and see.

Here are a few pics of our baby (who thankfully is sleeping right now... what a whirlwind!!!), the ones we managed to capture anyway!  :rofl:

Meeting the cat tree

In the new tunnel

Is it a mouse?

In the tunnel again?

Attacking mommy from safety of the tunnel!  :rofl:

Pooped... letting her Aunty fuss her

And again...

Al and I just want to say a big thank you to Teresa and Rob for bringing her home to us and giving us the thumbs up for being good parents.. xx

Fantastic news Ruth - I am so pleased for you  :Luv:

Looks like little Miss Estella has settled and made herself at home in no time at all.  Whirlwind is a good description, as you know we refer to our little bundle as hypernova  :rofl:

Give Estella lots of hugs from her Auntie Linda & her bengly cousins xxxxx

Post by: Kittybabe (Ruth) on April 14, 2007, 17:48:39 PM
Thank you so much.   Estella is certainly going to keep me hyper that's for sure.

Linda I will deliver the hug as soon as I muster energy to go give it to her !  :rofl:

Lexy has just delivered a present in her litter tray and its a doozy so that is telling me all I need to know how she feels about things!!! Madam is now in her radiator bed settling for the evening.

I shall be back later, got to go get another sneaky look at my baby.

I am sure our Aunty Gill will allow a few of these photos, so will have to save more of them for the cat show.. he he..   :rofl:

I have been lucky enough to have been welcomed to KBabe's place today. Thank you, KBabe and A for making N and me feel so at home. Thanks too for an unexpected lunch!

Estella is just lovely, and a tribute to Teresa's faultless care, and I know that she has now found herself a lovely home with wonderful people.

A word also for Lexy, whom I had to meet lying on the floor as she was a bit overwhelmed - another beautiful cat.

Love

Edited by me to correct a dreadful grammatical error! Ugh! All right now...

Christine,

You and N are most welcome. And the lunch was a pleasure.

Thank you for the kind words and I second the tribute to Teresa.

Lexy is now sitting on her radiator bed, a bit bemused by all the goings on, and thanks you for the wonderful compliment - oh and apparently Blip is welcome to share the princess bed if she so wishes!  :rofl:

Hugs,

R x

She looks like she's having a great time!
Her markings really are bold and beautiful :Luv:.

Post by: Kittybabe (Ruth) on April 14, 2007, 19:12:34 PM
Thanks Baggy, her markings are very striking. I know very little about the marble bengals but all I know is her colouring is amazing. My sister fell in love with her.  Estella certainly knows who is who.. she met her Aunty and just went all cute for her.

Ellie and Linda: hugs distributed as requested. I got a few purrs back so gather the hugs were accepted.

She's lovely ruthy and pleased you have home at last.

Her stripes on her back are cute and reminded me of the cartoon with the skunk and female cat (who he thought was a girly skunk LOL)

Hope you are having fun this weekend and she is settling in well...how is lexy taking to the upheaval ?

Thanks Lynn

The weekend has been wonderful so far. I closed off the back of the house and let Estella have the run of it.. and run she did. Up down, up down, up down... What the heck she's chasing I have no idea but keeping her happy and active so that's good. I just need to get things off kitchen counters, guaranteed she will be up there soon.

Lexy is fine, the got a look at each other through the glass door this morning... growling, a couple hisses, tails all fluffed up. Estelly has the most amazing growl. Estelly backed down and Lexy walked away. Good thing is that their ears were both perked up so I am hoping that when they do finally meet it won't be chaos.

Lexy is relaxed here next to me. She knows she's top cat so we shall wait and see how well they do together.

And now.. I need a nap. Exhausted.

Well, Estella is settled. Ali has been playing with her and she is tired. I am very tired!  The spray gun is now a permanent part of the furniture and we are teaching her that she cannot jump on the table when we are eating... not that she pays much attention. And her water bowl has become her bath bowl... no need to ask what I have been doing then!

 :rofl:

Looks like she is making herself at home quite nicely! Beautiful girl! Congrats

Day 3.

I went to work this morning and was serenaded out the door... at 6:00am that must have surely impressed the neighbours.

I got home after a day of worry of how Estella was doing, and found her sleepy waiting for me.

After an hour of play and another of just chilling in any weird position ontop of me, oh and a thorough wetting from my water glass, miss finally dozed off. She's awake now but being quiet in her little room. After I have my dinner will no doubt be spending some time with her, however Lexy and I are enjoying a quiet hour together.

Who knew this little tornado could keep me so occupied!!

 :rofl:

Welcome to the world of manic cats!  People at work don't understand why I'm tired all the time - they don't understand the one world reply "Mosi"  ;D
