Merry Christmas (with added cats)!

I've had a very busy Christmas, seeing my mum's side of the family, my dad's side of the family and Ash's family too. I'm back at work tomorrow and I have a cold. I've had a very lovely time, but I'm tired as anything, so a proper blog post will have to wait until I'm feeling better.

In the meantime, here are the cat pictures I promised. I looked after these beauties for my friends while they were flat hunting in Sweden, a few weeks ago. They are Maine Coon cats, so big and fluffy!

This is Poppy and Macavity.


This is Dinah, who also answers to Princess Dinah Bear


This is Tybalt, using Ash as a climbing frame. See how big he is? Macca is even bigger than Tybs. They are seriously giant cats! Although Poppy is a lot smaller than the other three, she's still on the large side compared to most domestic moggies!


They are really loving and friendly cats. We had a really great week playing with them.



However, sometimes they get grumpy if you take photos of them with flash. Which resulted in this photo of Tybs:


And so I couldn't resist making this image (very roughly in a couple of minutes).


I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas, if you celebrate. Or Yule/Solstice, or Hanukkah (I know I'm very late) or Kwanzaa, or any other reason for celebration!

      I forgot to say that we actually were looknig after these cats a couple of weeks ago, so we had to hand them back before xmas =[ (I've edited the post now - thank you). They are lovely, but I had a nice Christmas anyway!

      Ah ha, I know right! That little mouse ash has in his hand makes squeaking noises and they all go wild for it! We were trying to keep them on the table because the ginger boy, Macavity, had a cold and there was a bowl of vicks vaporub on the table, it made his breathing easier, but he couldn't get under a blanket with it!

      They have such a lot of personality, but aren't quite as co-operative as humans =P
