26th January

It's been an eventful couple of days for the kitten. The move went very smoothly on Sunday, and she is now in a pen in the sitting room. She has been out in the room today, and having a great time playing and running around. My cat Bailey is so good with kittens and he has been showing her how to play.

He looked so funny, tipping his head on one side and crooning at her with his paw outstretched. She then went and sat on the sofa and copied him, turning on her back and looking at him upside down. She stretched a bit too far and then fell off the sofa, which scared her and she ran off to hide for a bit.

She came onto my knee to eat some food, and later sat herself down on my leg. Not exactly cuddled up to me - but huge progress all the same.

She has such tiny feet that she looks like a ballerina standing on point. So we've decided to call her Darcy. And if it turns out that I'm wrong and she is a he, then we can just put a "Mister" in front of it. She has to be a she though, she is so dainty and pretty.

Darcy is fascinated by the television - especially when a DVD was ejected. She sat for ages waiting for us to send the DVD drawer in and out. Which of course we did - couldn't resist. We will probably break it - all the in name of entertaining a kitten.

She is back in her pen now, as its safest for her at night time.

The two big boys went to their new home today, so I've got some cleaning out to do. They will be living in Meifod. They have been very well behaved, but I think they will be glad to be in their new home.
