The kittens turn 3

 The birthday boys!

Yes, it has already been 3 years since I moved and the kittens were born. Today Bob and Frank turned 3.
They were not very willing to pose together for a photo...it was a bit like :
-No I am not standing next to Smelly!
-And I don't want to be next to Farty!

So I had to trick them...one inside and one outside ;) You can also see Pepita in the background.

 And some pix of the garden and house.

 I put hearts in the windows today...

And a little picture of baby Zoé, Bob and Frank 's sister who's sadly over the rainbow bridge already.

Pepita the new kitty

Pepita is the new addition to the family.
I had seen that fluffy cat roaming in the neighbourhood for some time but assumed he (I thought it was a boy) belonged to someone.
She was quite shy and would run away when I went out...then she started to come and eat the food I put out for an outside kitty.
And last February we had some unusually cold weather  and she wouldn't  leave the garden.

One morning she jumped inside the house and checked all the rooms, and then went quickly back outside.
But that night I found her leaning on the bay window, shivering and looking very miserable. I let her in and she immediately went napping in a basket in the study.

She didn't look too good. She was pretty dirty with matted hair that I had to cut. I took her to the vet and it turned out she recently had a  miscarriage and some of the dead fetuses were still inside her, rotting :(  She had some emergency surgery and a heavy dose of antibiotics...and now she is doing great!
Thriving really, must have doubled her weight by now. She eats a lot, loves ham,cuddles and warm radiators. She is also very bossy and a little bit possessive. She loves cuddling when I watch TV, putting her little nose right on my nose and making little "I love you " eyes.
