Introducing Atticus who arrived with me on Saturday, isn’t he pretty? 😊 He’s a 15 week old red and white mackerel Maine Coon and being a year almost to the day since I lost my Rosso, it’s exciting and a bit daunting having a kitten in the house again but he’s absolutely lovely

I didn’t intend being without a cat for so long (not counting the 100s of cats I’ve visited since in my capacity of cat sitter) but wanted to wait for the right one to come along, he’s from traditional US/UK lines which was what I was looking for as it seems the breed has been mostly overtaken by the Russian types which people seem to prefer now but I prefer the sweeter look…. but boy does he have a gob on him as I discovered at 5am this morning when he decided it was time for me to wake up!!!!

He’s still a little shy but eating and using the litter tray, playing like a mad thing and chasing boinks around like there is no tomorrow, it’s been less that 24 hours since he arrived so I’m happy with his progress, the photos are from a couple of weeks ago cos I haven’t had time to do a proper photoshoot yet but hopefully I will be around much more now and will be sharing his progress

He’s being a little demon this morning, too much energy built up and to top it off he’s just fallen into my draining morning bath, scared the life out of both of us 🙀 I was really careful when I was filling it up and kept the door shut but forgot it takes ages to empty and didn’t…Bad Mum!!!!

I was going to let him out of the bedroom to explore the rest of the house today (supervised of course) but he has the devil in him so I think we’ve had enough excitement for today

Don't let that sweet face fool you , kittens eh, who’d have em?

How is our handsome Atticus doing? Xxx
Has he destroyed your Home yet? ;)
He’s on his 3rd breakfast already and it’s only 10.30!!! He is currently wrestling with a kicker on the bed after doing laps around the flat, the mornings tend to be peak chaos, afternoons he tends to sleep, evenings more mayhem and then he is such a good boy and lets me sleep all night which I’m very thankful for 😊 He came to me early neutered so I’m hoping not to have to deal with rising testosterone tantrums so fingers crossed… I’m quiet work wise until the end of month when half term gets busy so have been able to spend loads of time with him bonding and it’s really paid off, he’s such affectionate little boy and just loves to cuddle while gazing at me adoringly while purring like a tractor ….. Most of my time now is divided between serving food and fishing Boinks from under furniture
