Lol this reminds me of the few days/nights I had before I collected Winnie lol.

Really, really, really can't wait until these two little ones arrive. Chester and Beau are going to be very spoilt lol!

Love the cat tree...hope they use it as much as Winnie uses her (all the time) lol.

5 more sleeps!!!:):):)

I take my 9 year old niece to the stables on a Saturday (she seems to have inherited the horsey gene from me)

She was so excited about Chester & Beau and has even bought them presents with her pocket money. Very sweet.

Next Saturday she's decided we're skipping lunch after riding & coming straight to see the kittens.

She was adorable, telling me that Bailey would understand that because I miss him so much, I need to have new cats to love.

She then said "I'm glad you're getting kittens Aunty Nic & not having a baby instead"

Apparently, she overheard my brother saying my cats were my babies & that it must be even harder losing Bailey when I don't have kids. So using 9 year old logic she's been worrying that I'll now have a baby. Which apparently would be "a bit rubbish" because she's my "number one girl"

Bless her.

Even if he remains a scaredy cat with just one other cat around (unlikely), you've got plenty of hiding places for them, so it won't take long for both of them to settle down.

I am going nuts waiting. Been obsessively looking at the photos & grilling Andy with questions all night!

I'm desperate to get them home & settled, especially as Beau is still a wee scaredy cat. He's the most timid of the litter. He was watching the others playing on the floor tonight but was too scared to join in. Little sweetheart.

Apparently the woman asked if we definitely still want him with him being so scared. It just makes me want him more.

Can't wait to shower him with love & have him bombing around like crazy in no time!
