closing...

I've decided today that it's really too hard to keep up 2 blogs, so I'm combining both blogs into the one!
Better for me and you as I will probably update more often~!

15 weeks...

and he's had his first week at home. Gryfn has settled in really well over the last week.
I was a bit worried to begin with as he wasn't eating a lot, but now he's settled right in and running amok!

I thought last night I would weigh both Gryfn and Charlie Brown to see how much they weighed... Gryfn weighs approximately 2.3kg and Charlie Brown weighs 2.5kg. Not bad really considering they are a month apart.
Charlie Brown has been a bit of a bully but they have both sorted themselves out now and are playing together a lot more nicely. There's less meow's from bites... lol

And of course it wouldn't be a good post without some photos...
I took this one the other day of the two of them curled up together on my desk...


This afternoon I let them both out in the cat run to play. I have to supervise as we still don't have the roof on yet but I took some beautiful photos....

This one of Gryfn stretched out shows his beautiful patterning....


I love these ones of Gryfn too...




I love his 'collar' or chinstrap as I call it... lol

And not to be outdone, here are the pics of Charlie Brown running amok on the branches in the cat run...




And Charlie Brown does take some beautiful photos....



I've been really lucky with Gryfn as he loves to be brushed. I pull the brush out every night and give him a quick brush, that way he will be well used to it when his long coat comes in.
Charlie Brown on the other hand, likes to attack the brush. Maybe I need to look at getting a rubber mitt for him rather than a slicker brush!

And Gryfn's favourite past time... watching the goldfish in the fish tank... lol.. maybe he thinks he'll get one one day!

I've spent this weekend spending time with Gryfn, settling him in.
He has settled in really really well. Was a bit flighty for a while but with the kids running amok around the house that's not really very surprising.
For the first time right new he's sitting on my lap. He loves to be with me, especially sitting at my feet or next to me on my desk, but doesn't seem to like being cuddled a lot.
But that in itself suits me, as I'm usually busy doing something and I love the company without having someone or something always on top of me.
i was a bit worried for a little while about how much Gryfn was actually eating as he didn't seem to eat much at all, but it's settled down, and even though he is still eating only a little amount, he is eating. He's just not a pig like Charlie Brown!
I've also discovered that Gryfn likes bacon and also coffee... he had a sampling of my coffee yesterday morning but it was too hot this morning.

He loves to sleep on the bed with us, but at the feet... he doesn't need to be on top of me which is good. Sometimes he will curl up at the top of the pillow, but he's never gone to the kids beds yet.

Both Charlie Brown and Gryfn can't wait for the cat run to be finished. DH just has to get the roof done and it's all set for them to go out there.
I will just need to sort out some shelves etc for them to play around on, but I can at least let them out there without worrying about them getting out.

He's here....

Meet Gryfn

Tomorrow...

at 11.50am Gryfn touches down in Esperance!!!!

I'm so excited... I so can't wait....

A change...

Yes I decided it was time for a change.
With the imminent arrival of Gryfn (only a couple of weeks away now!!!) that I decided to change this blog from pictures to a record of my furbaby.
And in case you haven't heard, dh got a new furbaby too... a 4mo Tonkinese call Charlie Brown.
So it's going to be a very busy household here for a while I think... but it's going to be so very much fun!!!!

But here are the latest pics I have of Gryfn at 11 weeks....



And here are pics of his brother and sisters...Gryfn is the only tabby, the others are blacks and there is a smoke.






Gryfn was snipped and chipped last Thursday and he was also weighed, weighing in at just on 2kg, he's still the biggest kitten in the litter, being over 200g more than his brother or sisters!
Yes I'm a proud mumma!!!


And Charlie Brown...
He was born on December 1, 2009 so he's a month older than Gryfn. He's a purebred Platinum Mink Tonkinese...We weighed him on Friday (I was curious) and he's just over 2.1kg.
Just gorgeous...


He's keeping us on our toes.

Now just need dh to roof and net the cat run and we'll be all set!

7 weeks

and at over a kilo he's the biggest kitten in the litter!


And I just have to share these pics of him getting a drink....



Typical Maine Coon!

Only 6 weeks before he comes home... I so can't wait!!!

6 weeks

February 7

Ok... I knew it would happen... and really so did you! lol... there was no way in the world I would find time to take a photo every day.
So I've decided I'm going to be honest here... and post a photo that I've taken and love or has some special meaning for me.

I'm also going to start posting the pics of my new furbaby even though I don't have him yet...

But here is the first pic I have got... he's 3 weeks old and was 300g.
It's a couple of weeks old, but hey... I had to work out how to get it off my phone!

Thursday January 14

This is a sad photo and I couldn't let this day go by without a mention. One of my bestest friends ever is heading home back to Tassie. It's been a wonderful 2 years and I will miss her terribly. :(

Friday January 15

It's been a busy day today. I took the day off work (one of my days owed) and packed the girls stuff all ready for it to be picked up in a couple of weeks. I can't believe they had so much.

A new blog...

As if I don't have enough to do, I've decided to start a new blog and add a photo a day... ok... I could be slack here and only post once a week, but I will take a photo a day just so I've got a snapshot of our year...
It might not be anything fancy, but hey... if I can keep it up it'll be great!

So drop by every so often, and view a snapshot of my life....
