Here is the story of Cecilia, our Maine Coon cat, born in Windsor on 31 December 2005, and now living with us in Putney, UK.

Concentration
The key to a successful hunt is to remain focussed on the prey (even if it's just an innocent ping pong ball!)

First impressions...
We are bowled over by our new kitten's character! Sure, all kittens are cute, but Cecilia is simply adorable :-) In the morning we find her yawning in her new bed, usually with one paw still over a furry duck! When she wakes up she keeps us amused by her antics as she intently stalks a ping pong ball - and then feigns complete disinterest, lulling her prey into a false sense of security!
When she tires of that she follows us around, inquisitive in everything around her. She likes the PC screen - often trying to grab the cursor with her paw. She is very gentle with us, no biting or scratching, and often grabs a quick cat-nap on the nearest lap!
The merest hint of stroking her and she purrs her appreciation loudly. I guess she is training us very well :-)

Cecilia arrives!
Cecilia surveying her new home. We picked her up today from Windsor and the drive back was very easy. Andy, my wife, drove, so I could sit in the back. Cecilia enjoyed being stroked, rolling over onto her back, and was soon fast asleep. She is now exploring the kitchen, and learning where all the important bits are. She has even found the warm spot in the corner, where Katwana used to sleep. We are all very happy :-)

10 weeks old
Cecilia - feeling more grown up now!
And a special mention for "Dorothea" (the Windsor based breeder) who have provided most of these great photos, and shared them with us. Exceptional "customer service" - thank you Gianna :-)
