this is why cissy's nickname is snugglebug.

happy birthday cissy!

another week and another cat's birthday! this time it is the turn of cissy tigerlilly to have a happy birthday post! truth is i was not actually 'looking' for a third cat, i was happy with just two plus i could barely afford to look after another kitty, somehow though we were brought together and i am so glad i gave cissy her 'forever' home with us. despite being a beautiful kitty she was not going to be 'snapped up' at the rescue centre as she needed re homed with other indoor cats due to bad eyesight (so she could follow them around), plus she had a tendency to greet you by latching every claw and her teeth onto your arm! hence the tiger in her name! however, against the odds i knew she belonged with us.

i brought her home a year today, when she was thought to have been about a year old. so today we will celebrate her 'pretend' second birthday. orla loved cissy from the start, however it took a while for biba to adjust to having a new sister. they get on ok now despite the fact that cissy can be a bit of a bully sometimes, and i even caught them curled up together in bed recently. cissy also has another side to her, a real loving side that has earned her the name 'snuggle bug' or 'snuggler' as she seems to love the occasional cuddle with me under the duvet, in my arms. she also is very playful and is very sociable around folk. she is currently on a very strict diet due to her love of grub, and is known to scoff hers then try and polish off biba and orlas as well!

my little gingerbread cookie

yay! we did have a white christmas! it was still white from the last snowfall then more snowflakes as we were driving away from my mothers house on christmas day after dinner. i took my cat cissy outside to see the snow. i thought she might enjoy it having once been a stray (she has bad eyesight hence her leash) but her tail all went bushy and she trembled so i took her back indoors to warm up. she must be feeling this chilly weather as she taken to keeping cozy by snuggling up under the duvet with me every night!

note her perfect little heart shaped ginger patch on her back. just like a gingerbread cookie!

more snow is forcast here soon. i hope you are all enjoying the holidays.
