She's Here!!!!!

Sen-Chan: Our little sister is here!!! She arrived, as planned, yesterday afternoon. We were all quite surprised when Uncle U arrived, not with one kitten, but with three kittens AND three puppies. Tom will tell you himself about the fun he had with the puppies.  Before they let the kittens loose, they locked me up in my carrier for a little while, which was no fun, but #1 said it was necessary.

They eventually let me out and I spent the rest of the evening trying to make friends with the little furrballs. There were two girls and one boy. The boy, Don Benito, was a little red, like me and we immediately took to one another and played a lot. The girls were a lot shyer. #1 was so proud of me because I did not hiss or spit once (actually, she is now convinced I don't know how to, and she's right). I was very  gentle with the kittens but they certainly did a lot of hissing at me! #1 said it was because they were in a new environment and a little scared. Also, our little princess got a bit of a whapping from one of the Queens at the cattery yesterday, so that made her skittish.

Anyway, we will let her settle in for a couple of days before she introduces herself properly to you, but here are a few initial photos:

Tom: The excitement really has been at fever pitch around here, what with the little fuzzball arriving and my three 'Pei Pup friends coming to visit.  I have been very calm and gentle around the little princess, and I hope she will soon figure out that I make an excellent cuddle buddy.

As for the pups' visit, oh boy that was so much fun! We played and played and played:

I am hoping they will come for another visit at the weekend!
