WOYWW 26/01

 
Hi

Well, its been a while since I joined in with WOYWW so I thought I ought to get the camera out and let you all have a little peek.

I only turned by back for a moment to get my camera, but it was still enough time to be invaded by felines!!!!  I think you can just about see some the Magnolias I've been colouring ready to make some cards. 

Erin is so inquisitive, she is into everything.  She loves to explore and make up new games to play.  The funniest thing is to see Thomas with her.  He adores her and she has brought out the kitten in him - he seems to have regressed completely back to kittenhood!!! They run around all over the house as she is soooooo fast sometimes all we see is a blur lol!!! She also loves her cuddles and has the most amazing purr I've ever heard. 

For those that may not know, Erin is a 6th Generation Savannah Cat - The Savannah is a tall lean graceful cat with striking dark spots and other bold markings. It is a domestic breed which closely resembles its ancestral source, the African Serval, but is smaller in stature. It is affectionate and outgoing, with exceptionally long neck, legs, and tall ears, as well as a medium length tail, the Savannah is both unusual and beautiful. The Savannah is also an exceptionally graceful and well balanced cat (Information from TICA).

Anyway thanks for stopping by, I'm off for a nosy.
