Amy & Kitty-kat
February 2002
Amy is now five months old and very happily settled in with us all. She is best friends with both Howie and Krystal - it's absolute chaos when the three of them play together (especially as Daphne, Amanda, Benson and Jasper usually join in with them!), but very amusing to watch. Just be careful not to sit too comfortably in this house because it'll only be a matter of time before someone jumps on your head at play time... :)

I am convinced that Amy will grow up to be a hunter. She has a very keen eye and really enjoys playing with her toy mice, usually losing them under my bed in the middle of the night and waking me up to retrieve them for her. One of her favourite things is to sit and look out of the window, watching the birds fly overhead. For years birds have avoided my garden, for obvious reasons, but a few days ago there were two pairs of Blue Tits gathering food from the apple tree and honeysuckle. Amy watched with excitement before going out of the cat flap to take a closer look. Now, I have to say that if Amy would like to learn how to hunt properly, she might like to take some instruction from Jasper - especially that you won't catch a bird by sitting on the honeysuckle, where you last saw the birds, waiting for them to land in your paw!
