New addition…..
…. we brought home a little Korat kitten on Wednesday. I’ve struggled to get unblurry pics as he doesn’t really stay still very long!
He’s a bit of a menace and has already landed in a plate of egg muffins, shoved his head in Nin’s icecream and her breakfast, R.’s cranberry juice, almost landed in R.’s dinner and tried to make off with some kiwi fruit. He managed to go missing for about an hour on Thursday until we found him in the coffee table drawer (there’s a small gap at the back of the drawer which he fits through) and I’ve had to rescue a metal scouring pad which he must have walked through the sink to get (judging by how wet he was - there was washing up on each side of the sink, so I suppose he decided on the direct route). He sounds a little bit like a hand-blender and has the rather posh name: Serrenol Virote (virote apparently means ‘power’ in Thai - Korats are a Thai breed), however, dh called him Gilbert on Thursday and it’s stuck 
(Slings'n'things)
Aw, he looks cute!
Sounds a bit of a hnadful though! Just as well you said you’re a busy person as I think with four children, the allotment and the new kitty, you’ll not be sitting down much, lol.
Are you still giving the GF diet a go? I’ll email you sometime soon and see how things are going

well, i just had to google korat cats ( mistyped that as korat kats to begin with ) never heard of them. the website i found doesn’t mention their really big ears, though. do they sort of grow into them as they get older ?
love, fiona

Gilbert is a good name and it suits him. Wow..that is one psychic looking cat! You should pop over to Four Dinners site..he’s just put pics up of his 10 cats…..there’s something in the air:)

He will grow into his ears - Korats take up to 2 years to fully mature, they’re slow-burners, but pretty stunning when they’re older
I’ll have to look at Four Dinners site - I’d have more cats (we do have an Ocicat called Fern too), but dh isn’t so keen.

you have an ocicat??? oooh, scuse me whilst I be all jealous!

Yes. At one point I had a registered prefix as I had planned to breed Ocicats, but having been to stud a few times, my Oci girl never became pregnant, so in the end we had her neutered. I lost my fawn silver Oci and was pretty devastated (this was a few years ago) and stepped back from showing etc. One day, when the children are a bit older I’ll probably start showing again.
