Welcome, Jasmin!

We got our new kitten, Jasmin, on Sunday. She was very scared when we got her home, never having been in a car, or away from her litter mates and her mother before, but at least she was eating and using the litter (though not always) which was a good sign; some kittens go off their food. She spent the night in our bedroom, but mainly behind some of my clothes on a shelf. She explored yesterday and met both cats (Claudia being unimpressed as I expected; it took her two weeks to get to love Tessa) and Vic being quite interested). By evening she was feeling relaxed enough to purr when I cuddled her, and to play with a knitting needle.

Last night she was on my pillow, and in the morning had a snuggle under my chin. She had a big game of tubes after breakfast (like all our cats, she loves playing with a length of computer cable with the wires removed) and I even got an action shot!

When we arrived at Patsy's, her opal-eyed Bengal boy, Jonta, greeted us. We had to stop and admire him and stroke his fur.

Patsy has two miniature horses, so I took a picture for those I know will be interested.


Jasmin over Patsy's shoulder as she says goodbye. Her eyes are golden, but the stripes on Patsy's shirt are reflected in them. :-)


Action Jasmin! I had the tube in one hand and the camera in the other, and this was the best of a blurry lot!

Jonta is beautiful - I really like Bengals, though I'm not sure that I would ever have one. Jasmin, though, is gorgeous! That last photo is making me smile a lot.

I'm glad that it sounds as though she's settling in a bit, and I hope that it'll go ok with getting on with the others.

Bengals don't like being picked up or sitting on laps, but they ones I met were very friendly and came over eager for strokes. Patsy says they will sit at or on your feet, but I like a cuddly cat.

Jasmin's much more confident every day. She was so scared when she arrived, we were worried about her, but she's getting very playful and cheeky now.
