I'm indulging myself

Makes sense.

What you're saying confirms my idea that we must have been unusually lucky indeed to have had two newcomers who took everything in their stride. I would have been at my wits' end if little Minnie had been terrified of the big ones.

I do hope the dust will settle at Karen's soon.

Thought I'd post a few more pics of the girls, especially as the dust has well and truly settled...

So, first, the girls have a new Tigga Tower for the lounge; we've been getting serious turf war over the one platform in the study despite the fact there's enough bed space for three giant cats, so I popped down to Tigga Towers to get a second platform to replace the igloo with (the tower is about 2 meters tall to the top of the igloo and both cats like to sit ON it rather than in it, which just makes me cringe, so it's got to go) and ended up coming home with the platform PLUS a second tower. They like the new one as it means they've got their own space - a platform each - in the same room as us. So both towers now have enough platform space for platform-hog-Wicca and the ever-expanding-Freyja.

I also managed to get a half-decent picture of Wicca, although I've had to adjust the brightness so that you can actually see her features!

A miracle photograph of the two cats grooming each other - apologies for the poor quality.

And a nice picture of Freyja lolling about on our bed. She had been chewing on my kindle case - possibly to show me that she prefers The Dresden Files as a bedtime story over The Desert Spear! She wasn't that keen on The Angels of 9/11, either, so I guess she's really a vampire/wizard/werewolf kind of a cat. Wicca's not that interested in books at all, but she does quite like being in the kitchen when OH is cooking and he's listening to his 'sweaty raver' CD's! No photo's of the latter yet, but watch this space...

Thanks for asking, Jackie. We're still not dry, would you believe?? Got a little chap coming out again today to measure the water in the walls. Apparently, once you get to 25% dry you can get the plasterers in, and only one wall was that dry last week. Still emptying buckets twice a day, and at 10pm when we turn the machines off it's a bit like going temporarily deaf! Still, we're there.

But he's got the coolest little whispy bits in his ears! They're a bit like Wicca's - hers wrap around to the back of hers!

Your girls are turning out so gorgeous... I am almost speechless!

I'm with candes regarding the ears... so wonderfully long and plume-y.

The only one of our three who comes close is little Minnie... the other two are much more modest in the ear department.

I noticed the same thing with Monty, and many more black smokes as well. Could it be a black smoke thing?

You might be right - I noticed that with your Monty. Also there's another black smoke called Maurice on the site who's very similar - dark face, lighter body, and long whispy ear furnishings. Maybe it's because the ear hair is so much lighter than their faces. Whatever, it's the feature that made me look at Wicca out of 4 black smokes. The fact that she acted like a little devil clinched it!

Feel so sorry for you,this is not the best of weather to have damp walls either & as for having to listen to that machine going all day it must be torture.
Hopefully you will be sorted for xmas & then we can watch all the fun postings from you,me & everyone else as to how the xmas tree is surviving...or nor...with our little darlings,think we can guess which one of yours is going to be the fairy !
