Saturday morning

Cecilia reading the Saturday papers - oh yes, she's intelligent alright :-)

Window sills

Cecilia's latest favourite perch is the window sill - where she can laze in the afternoon sun, keeping an eye on us in the living room and yet flicking her tail menacingly at anything moving outside :-)

Little Miss Sleepy-head!

Cecilia sleeping in on a weekend - don't you just love that relaxed pose? She is SO laid back :-)

Two weeks on...

For anyone who thinks cats are aloof I do recommend Maine Coon Therapy! As I write this (on Sunday morning, still in bed) she has calmed down from her hunting practice, and is now sprawled across my chest, purring loudly, with one paw on my throat! Given her razor-sharp claws I should probably feel vulnerable, but somehow I don't...

We keep her in the kitchen at night - she seems happy there on her pillow with "Ducky". This has meant we can all sleep through the night - and it makes a morning cuddle all the better :-)

She wolfs down her food - a mix of dry and soggy stuff for kittens - and gets bigger by the day. She loves playing at hunting - stalking and pouncing like a manic frog! These moments of intense activity are usually followed by a quieter period of grooming and then a search for a handy lap to sleep upon...

Has it really only been 2 weeks? She has already woven herself into the pattern of our lives :-)

Sleeping companions

This is how we usually find Cecilia in the morning - lying on her favourite chair in the kitchen, close to her new furry best friend "ducky" :-)
