Hi all, thought I would add a couple of new pics of my little girl. I haven't been on here for a little while as we had a terrible end to the year. My one grandmother passed away suddenly at the end of October then just a week later my other nan went into hospital for her gallbladder removed and got told that they found cancer there. Further tests showed that it had spread to her liver and there was nothing they could do for her. Sadly she passed away on December 21st.


Christmas was therefore very quiet but Willow was great, it was as if she knew something had happened and she was more affectionate than normal bless her which was comforting. She's not one for a big fuss and she usually just lies on our chest for a couple of minutes when we are lying on the bed but this is all on her terms. However over the past few weeks she will lie on us (still on the bed) but has been purring for over 30 minutes and she will do this a couple of times during the day


We bought her some gifts for christmas and her favourite was a cheap tent although it was flattened in less than 30 seconds
We still manage to get it back into some sort of tent but she usually flattens it again then sleeps on top of it


Anyway here are some pics of her and I will post some more soon as I need help to pick a photo for this months contest


Just waking up...



Eyeing up her new toy.....



Got it!!!



This is what I did to my tent.....




I much prefer to sleep on it rather than in it!!



All whiskers...



Tired out




Thanks for taking the time to look

She's adorable. I'm so glad she's been a comfort to you. Don't you just love purring kitties?

Oh my goodness!
She is such a beautiful girl. I love her poofy white feet


I`m sorry you`ve been having such a rough time of it
It`s so sweet that she senses you are upset and is comforting you

Awww! She's so pretty! She lays like my Gus did, on his back with "bunny feet". We used to tell him "I'm a bunny wabbit" in the Elmer Fudd voice all the time!! LOL

Oh dear! My condolences on your losses.


The experts say cats purr to heal themselves so I guess she is sharing her magical healing powers with you to mend your broken heart.

ETA: I know I have said this before, but Willow is a STUNNING girl!!

I'm sorry to hear about your 2 nans. I know what its like, to lose someone this time of year. My dad passed away 23 Dec 3 yrs ago.
Willow is absolutely gorgeous, she could be Blossom's sister.

Thank you all for your kind words


Kara_Leigh it's funny that you say that about 'bunny feet' cos we always say that she looks like a bunny when she's on her back! She curls her back paws aswell and it looks like she is going to get up and 'hop' off


We have been trying to get pictures of her on her back with her belly showing for this months contest as she usually curls her paws in and covers her belly. I've managed to get a few so will post a couple to see what you guys think is the one to enter. Once again, thank you all

Thank you, it's hard any time of the year but as you will know Christmas is such a horrible time for it to happen, it was also on my fiances birthday so he didn't have a birthday to remember. Anyway is that Blossom as a kitten in your siggy? She is beautiful and does look like our Willow


Here is a picture I found of Willow as a kitten
