After a couple of sad posts it's time for a more "cheery" one. On Thanksgiving Day we added to our family!! We adopted Pushkin. We have always planned on adopting one kitten that we have fostered, and up to this point it had not happened. (The photo to the left is her before we adopted when we tried her our to see if she got on with our current family.)

Why Pushkin? (apart from the name of one of my favourite authors). She was a very shy scared kitten that would be difficult to adopt out, but, above all we introduced her to the rest of our family and they took to her straight away and she to them. She is a very sweet kitten and some how stole my heart, so we decided she was right for us and Jenn adopted her for me (photo above is just after the contract was signed and she officially one of our family). She is still shy with us and is certainly not a lap cat, but, she has a great time playing on her own and with the rest of the family (right she is laying next to Coal who has accepted his new baby sister), especially Rollo, our eldest, who has regressed to be a kitten to play with Pushkin. Our family is now nearly complete.
