It’s well about time I blogged about our new furry children. Our previous pets have all had finest shitty handcrafted HTML pages, but practically all my web output goes here now.

After the death of Meowth we were, frankly heartbroken. Our pussycat friend was our surrogate child, and our companion: in short, irreplaceable, but having said that we can’t not have a pet or pets.

To this end, we went off to Cats Protection, and found our new friends- a pair of black and white cats, sister and brother, who had to be homed together. They have since been renamed QT McWhiskers and Kitty Softpaws or QT and Kitty for short.

It’s been a long and at times painful settling-in period: they have spend weeks under the bed, only coming out to make a ton of noise at 4am: we’re wondering what their previous home was like. Now, however, they are coming round. Kitty has taken to the catflap, and QT is starting to consider it. I have a lapcat again, even if she doesn’t spend hours there like Meowth did as she got older. QT is a big soft Mommy’s boy, Kitty is Daddy’s girl.

One hing I have decided is that there will be more photos: We didn’t have nearly enough of Meowth, or some have got lost or deleted.
