We’ve had the whole glorious week off of work. We have both been so busy over the last few months and giving ourselves a little break was definitely in order…
Plus, we were picking up this little girl…
If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, you will have seen your feed flooded with pictures because well… I can’t really help myself. I mean LOOK AT THAT FACE.
Meisha is crazy inquisitive, wants to get into all sorts of mischief all the time and so you have to keep your eye on her. As such, since Tuesday, we’ve basically had our lives taken over by this little baby Bengal.
I mean, look at the monstrosity of a cat climbing play centre thing that I’ve put into my home. It’s gotta be love, there’s no other explanation.
So you’ll have to indulge me sharing her with you. I’ve gotta get it out of my system. And for the non-cat lovers out there, I can only apologise. Interior posts will resume shortly.
She has made us laugh endlessly. Her very first evening with us, she tackled one of these little hanging mouse toys, grabbed the tail in her teeth, flung herself against the side and gripping with every scrap of might in her teeny tiny body, she ripped the thing RIGHT OFF. Oh yes, this one is gonna be trouble.
Pablo, our other cat, on the other hand, is not so enamoured. That we have introduced something that’s no bigger than a large rat into the house has not gone over too well. He’s not (and I believe won’t) hurt her or anything – just a bit of hissing at the moment but she’s only been with us for 2 days as I write this and I’m hoping that in time, he’ll come to accept her. In fact, I’m sure he will. Cats are territorial creatures and unlike dogs, are not pack animals, so we taking things slowing and making sure Pablo is getting extra cuddles and his own time with us to make the transition for him a little easier.
In the meantime, Meisha is bringing us so much joy. She’s very vocal (she likes to announce every time she uses her litter tray much to our amusement and while she’s eating, she chats to her ‘prey’) and she’s wonderfully affectionate (as soon as you pet her, a loud humming purr emanates from her tiny body as she leans into your hand).
It’s a little hard not to fall in love. I know this period in her life won’t last forever so we’re enjoying it while we can. And taking far too many pictures… ;)
She is adorable! <br /><br />it's a myth btw that cats aren't pack animals or sociable – they are, just in a different, less obvious way than dogs.<br /><br />Pablo will come round!
Oh I totally believe they are sociable and can bond with humans – Pablo is very close to us both and it's not just for food or treats. He actually misses us when we aren't around, bless him. But Pablo and Sen, while they tolerated each other, weren't especially close but they had a bit of an 'understanding' with each other in terms of which one had us when! It'll be
How do you get anything done with her around? I could stare at her all day, she's gorgeous!
We get NOTHING done!! hahaha It's so hard to ignore her ;) xxx
I'm not a cat person at all – I love dogs, but I do rather like her 'tiger' stripes!
Aww, she's so cute. I can totally see why she's your baby.
Some serious adorableness going on here!
I hope you will be giving her lots of lectures to respect the home decor and pretty things. And I want to know whether the cat tree monstrosity will be showing up in your photo shoots. Hee hee. There are some really lovely cat climbing apparatus sold here in the US but the prices are astronomical. Right now I have about six boxes strewn around our first floor, for kitty sitting spots. Ugly, but
I LOVE HER. I want her. Please?
Those are the freakin cutest pictures ever. I want to just cuddle her!!
Adorable! She looks like a teeny tiny tiger. I'm mildly hoping you've moved the coffee table and replaced it with the cat climbing frame :-) And what does she think of the yellow velvet sofa?!
Lovely kitty! I am amazed at all her spots (and yes, I agree, she is going to be trouble with a 'T'!) Thank you Mademoiselle Poirot for suggesting I stop by! Must tell Carole and in the meantime, share your link with my daughter!<br />Happy Friday,<br />
SUPER cute! Congrats on the new addition of the Swoon familiy :D <br />xoxox
SOOOOO adorable, she is just beautiful, congrats! I hope Pablo gets used to her soon too.xx
She is divine. As a cat lover I am delighted to see your little sweetheart. Don't forget to keep us up to date as she grows up. I think kitties are the best decorations for a room anyway!
