New kitten, can't help but show her off :)

[p87]

Couldn't help myself and brought this girlie home today, she is 9 weeks and so far nameless! I hadn't told my three year old so when he came home from nursery he got a nice surprise!

He wants to call her Tabby McTat, which is the cat in his favourite Julia Donaldson book... Unfortunately for him he has an incredibly girly mum who wants to give her a girly, flowery name haha

We already have a cat who hasn't met the new arrival yet, he knows something is going on though and is currently skulking along the outside window ledges, angrily peering in! He's such a mummy's boy, not sure how impressed he will be, doubt he's going to take too kindly to babysitting duties!

Isn't she lovely?

 

[Clodagh]

It just has to be Tabby McTat...you have no choice!!
She is gorgeous.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Oh she's lovely.

Tabby McTat is starting to stick... Aargh!! Not sure if you know the book but he is a buskers cat, the pair of them will be out busking in no time!

Pretty kitty! Would also go with Tabby McTat

Definitely Tabby McTat :smile3: It could be worse - at his age, I was quite convinced my new baby sister should be called "Hairy Mclary from Donaldson's Dairy" - after the Lynley Dodd book :redface3:

Yes she is absolutely lovely. Lucky you! I hope the introduction with your boy cat goes ok.

 

[meandmyself]

Call her Tabitha. Tabby McTat can be a nickname.

meandmyself why didn't I think of that?! And she suits Tabitha, its a win win situation

Introduction with Marlow the boy cat was highly amusing. The kitten having been in a litter for 9 weeks was SO excited to have a friend and bounded over to him, Marlow was borderline terrified, every time kitten moved he jumped a foot in the air. Lots of hissing and swiping going on from both of them then they settled on opposite couches glowering at each other. Poor kitten has been running up to run her head on him whenever she sees him, while Marlow recoils in horror haha I still haven't managed to get a photo of them together!

Ah well, they'll come round eventually

Caught my son fast asleep on the couch with her today after nursery, after telling her all about his day, bless them
