Our new baby


This is Navi, Cupcake, Raindrop, Biscuit, Cherry, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Button and dozens more trial names, to today's Poppy, which I think really suits her, so will probably be the one. She belongs to Emma and was hard-earned - she had to get 20 points for good behaviour, and the points kept going up and down like snakes and ladders, over a period of months.

We got Poppy from Pet Rescue and had to wait till she weighed 1 kg, at which time she was 10 weeks old, before she could be desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. She was the runt of a litter of three. The mother and two brothers were both fine-haired and jet black. At this stage, though it doesn't show in the photos, she's wild and woolly.

She has a delightful personality and is so cute we all just want to sit and look at her. Muffy hasn't met her yet. I have read that some cats leave home when a new one arrives, but Poppy actually lives upstairs and they can be kept apart. But I would like them to meet, just to see Muffy's reaction.



I'm sure Muffy and Poppy are photographed more than the royal children!

Just one more. Hugo asked me to print this one for him to take to preschool for news tomorrow:
