omg that is soooo funny about the eye squinting! KitKat does that to me all the time, i had no idea what it meant or that it was a cat trait- i thought it was just a KitKat-ism iykwim?

well i'm def going for a short hair and dh is a big fan of the tortioseshell (sp) so i will be keeping my eye out for one of them. sounds like a female might be best but i seem to want to rescue a little boy (prob cos i'm a mother of boys). i'm leaving jimmy with dad cos he's an absolute handfull atm and taking lewis as my kitty tester.

jm- good luck with it all. let me know how you go. thinking of you xoxoxo

yes i know a cat is not a dog substitute but when you have a dh like mine, sometimes you just have to take what you can LOL dh has declared himself a 'cat person' after never even patting a cat before KitKat. now she sits on his lap at night...very strange.

my kids had dh's surname before we got married but now i have the same one too. it's an ok surname but most people pronounce it wrong which annoys me. it used to have a 'van den' in front of it which i think sounds much more classy and i keep asking family members if we can reinstate it! LOL
