Well it was an eclipse on the 22nd of july, and our birthdays were rather eclipsed by a new arrival to our household.
Ahem, I will try not to let him take over the content of this blog, but he is just so cute - this was exactly the expression on his face when I first met him. Slightly gormless, but in wonder.
Our floors are now buffed to high gloss with his belly skite-ing across them.
He is black but has a slight browny tinge with dark tiger stripes. Watch out.

Oh he's gorgeous! Welcome, Murphy. Love your name too. Look forward to seeing lots of kitty antics recorded here!

Ah, Murphy is gorgeous! He reminds me of my cats when they were kittens - all fluff and mischief. Happy times to you with your new housemate.

Murphy looks just adorable - does he stay that size forever?
Would've left a comment on previous blog about very generous pay it forward gifts Caireen but didn't wish to be third at this stage. Need to stockpile my stock for upcoming events! The gifts you received were gorgeous. It's amazing to think of the many talented people working away quietly on beautiful things all over the land. So glad blogging has allowed me to learn about many of them. Thanks for the nudge!x

oh overwhelming cuteness - Murphy is the spitting image of Frida the cat when she was a kitten. Her dark brown stripes have gone now and she is just all black with about 6 stray white hairs
