The Kitten with No Name

Today I went and picked up the kitten that we are giving to Maria’s niece and sister for her niece’s 19th birthday.

She comes from a local farm in Oakhanger and at the time of the photo she is 9 and a bit weeks old.

We brought her home for a few hours first, she seemed okay walking round and hiding behind furniture. Then she met the resident cats!

Tosca had a hissy fit, first at the kitten and then at me. Shelley seemed okay with the kitten, but the kitten hissed at her! Nala wouldn’t come into the house, but when we went out she was rolling around by our feet trying to be super-cute.

The kitten then went down to Maria’s sister’s and met both her new "owner” and Maria’s other sister and nephew. Maria’s niece is supposed to be back from Spain today, but she managed to miss her flight and is not hurrying to get home – she doesn’t know about the new arrival. Her mum told her to get herself home today though as she was ruining her birthday surprise.

We got home in the evening and all three of our cats seemed quite pleased to see us – without the little intruder.
