We will now have a small kitten interlude. Here's the newest member of our family, we picked her up tonight.
We've named her Chiana (yes, I am a geek, why do you ask!) and I am madly in love. She's sleeping right now so I can sneak off to use the internet but I can see that getting studio time is going to be a struggle for the next few days!
She's 10 weeks old and a Bengal cross on her Dad's side (hence the beautiful markings) and an absolute little sweetie. She's a confident wee thing - she walked right into the cat box of her own accord, didn't cry in the car and when we got in, she came straight out of the cat carrier and promptly made herself right at home. We've spent the evening bonding, she's just been curled up on my lap asleep. Predictably, I have utterly lost my heart to her - so if I'm not around as much as usual in the next day or two, you'll know that I've been sucked into a Kitten Wormhole.

What a sweetie!
They are so lovely at that age. If you get a trusting and friendly one they really make you feel so good about yourself!
I've not heard of people doing a Bengal cross before. I wonder if her Mum had a night on the tiles?

Yes, she is gorgeous.
Her dad belonged to the same family that owned her mum but sadly he died recently. I saw a picture of him though and we met her mum, who was an absolute sweetheart - very friendly and loving. I see a real difference between her and my previous cat who had come from a pet shop and was always a bit nervous and skittish. She's much bolder and more sure of herself in comparison and I'm sure that's to do with having been brought up in a family home - she's clearly had a lot of handling and love.

Love the alert! There is always room on a blog for a photo of another cute kitten. Or, another photo of the same cute kitten.

"There is always room on a blog for a photo of another cute kitten."
Too true. Said cute kitten is currently poking around in my study looking for mischief to get into.
