Introducing Wicca...

I've finally succumbed - we are getting our second MC!! I've been looking for a black smoke for a few weeks and the breeder I got Freyja from had a litter in June. Went to see them today, and picked an adorable little girl. She's ready to come home now but I'll be away for a few days so pick her up next week when I get back. OH even came with me to help choose. So Freyja's getting a playmate!

Cannot tell you how excited I am!! I took a couple of photo's but they've not come out that well. More will follow once little Wicca is home..

AWWWW!!!! Congratulations, she looks a little darling, Freyja and Wicca what a lovely combination!! I bet youre excited, I cant believe how addictive our MCs are, I too feel the need to add a little brother for Oscar!!

She's gorgeous!! Congrats on the new coonie! I hope you'll be happy together!

She's gorgeous - my favourite colour x

Wow, I am really happy for you! You must be so over the moon! :excited:
Wicca (nice name btw) is an adorable little stunner. Like many black smokes she has this wonderful devil-like appearance. Just like our Monty at that age, only Wicca's ears are a bit longer.
I imagine you can't wait to take her home.

:thumbup: congratulations she's purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect :smile:

Awwww, that's great! I love the black smoke MCs!

Hi Karen, I knew you couldn't wait long for another! Well done for talking round the OH so quickly! And Wicca has gorgeous colouring! Is she related to Freyja, coming from the same breeder?

she is absolutely gorgeous - lucky lucky you

Oh lucky you, how exciting. She is very pretty - did you want another girl? How did you come by that name, its very unusal. Really looking forward to seeing more pictures of her and Freya together.

Thanks, Karena. Yes, wanted another girl as OH has enjoyed being the 'man of the house' and wanted it to stay that way... if that was the only condition he set on a second MC, I thought I'd take it!

The name was a bit of a word association thing... I like names to be symbolic or mythological (i.e. Freyja is named after the Norse Goddess of Beauty, Love and War - appropriate to her character!). So I wanted a magic/ gothic name for a black smoke, and OH suggested Salem (as in town in Boston where the alleged heathens were burnt for being witches) but it sounded like a boys name, so I suggested Pagan. OH wasn't keen but was inspired with Wicker (as in the Wicker Man) and so we settled on Wicca, as in white magic. Once he'd said it, I knew I didn't need to keep thinking about names as it's perfect!

Thanks HB. Yes, turns out that Freyja's Great, Great Grand-dad is Wicca's Dad. Made my brain hurt thinking about what relationship that gave them though! It was nice to see Freyja's mum and nan again, and OH felt the need to explain to them both that they're daughter/ grand-daughter was being well looked after and spoilt rotten. I'm just praying that the Freyja takes to her - Catherine (the breeder) was pretty confident that it wouldn't be a problem though and she knows all four ma's and pa's so knows what kind of temperament the kittens are likely to have. 5.5 days to go!

Karen, she's BEAUTIFUL!! Bet you can't wait!!!

A clear sign of Coonaholism... once you have an MC, you want another one, and then another one, and another one...
I think all of us suffer from the affliction, and we don't want a cure.:rofl:

Congratulations on your new baby!! I just love Black smokes!!

She is lovely & I am sure Freyja will luv her new friend x

I've updated another thread regarding progress with Freyja and Wicca so I'm just loading a couple of photo's of Wicca now she's home with us. I'm trying to get some good ones of her but her face is so utterly black that she either comes out featureless without a flash, or downright creepy looking WITH the flash - the flash makes her squint with makes her eyes look like little amber slits! Not her best look but I shall continue practicing.

In the meantime... here is little Spider Monkey in the TT.

Oh she's gorgeous Karen, what lovely pics! So pleased for you that this is working out. She looks like a proper character! xxx

I think the pics are great... what a beautiful creature she is!:nod:
