Climbing up my leg!

Haha!  :rofl:

Gwyngala is Cornish for September, she will be known affectionately as Gwyn probably! She's a seal tabbypoint persian and she's 13 weeks old. Wasnt planning to have another cat so soon after losing Suzie - and certainly didnt really NEED another one LOL! BUT....I happened to look at her breeder's website (its been in my favourites for years!) and saw that there were 2 tabbypoints in this particular litter, one already booked. So I just enquired - and it kind of snowballed......hmmm, you know how it is? LOL!

Then Jasper suddenly was poorly and I thought he was going downhill like Suzie, making it a bit of an expensive and difficult time, so I decided against having the kitten. However Jasper bounced back and is fine again now, the lovely breeder contacted me again to say that the lady who had already booked one kitten was travelling to pick her kitten up today - and if I still thought I'd like to have Gwyn, she would bring her too (and I can pay for her as and when -  :wow: ) - Well what's a girl to do?......

So, (are you still with me LOL!) her breeder lives in Cornwall, she was going to a cat show in Taunton, the lady who was having the other kitten picked both kittens up from Taunton, took them both home to her home in Gloucester, then I picked my girl up from Gloucester, then travelled home to Wiltshire - so she is a WELL travelled little girl today!!  ;D

Anyway, thats the story, she's purring for England and I hadnt remembered that kittens could be so heavy footed - its sounds like a herd of elephants are in that room LOL!

Thank you everyone, she's so adorable and lively (after initially wedging herself between the wardrobe and the wall!) she soon got her confidence and has been bouncing around ever since. She ate some biscuits last night, and this morning had some chunks of turkey (which she'd already been used to at the breeders) - growling with every piece she ate LOL!

Haha - its a very tatty furry mouse Helen!

More pics today, check out those ear tufts!  ;D

Whadya mean? - you know you like to be kept on tenterhooks really LOL!  ;D . Yep, just over the channel not far really from the wilds of Wales! Mind you it seemed like one hec of a long drive to Gloucester yesterday - for someone who normally just pootles about the B roads of Wiltshire LOL! Gwyn was quiet as a mouse on the way back home, I kept having a quick look round to see if she was ok - nearly giving mum a heart attack every time I did it - don't DO that she said, your driving remember!

Aint she lovely?  :Luv: - I just can't get over how LITTLE she is! (well it IS 11 years since I had a kitten in the house!) She won't get her proper tabby markings till she's older, they just look like little splodges at the mo  ;D

Aw, I LOVE the look of this little one!  :Luv: And that's saying something... After Monkey, I've had a kitten aversion - he was just a bit too much. (He still is, but not really a kitten anymore, haha!) So for months and months, I've actually been able to look at kitten pictures without feeling broody!  :wow: But... Gwyn makes me almost consider one. She's adorable! Lots of pictures, please!

Haha, you might regret that, I've been snapping away like a good 'n ever since she's been here - and then my friend was over today, and she's taken hundreds of photos - think she's got some good ones too ;D
