Today we welcomed Pawra Tolstoy (Tolly) into our home and hearts.

He will be 3 years old in December and has had a very traumatic week. Lily's breeder sold him as a kitten to a lady who absolutely adored him. Sadly, she died unexpectedly last week. She and Tolstoy lived alone. The poor little soul has been alone, then taken to the breeder's home (they are her children for life when she breeds them
) now he has found himself in our home.

He is not quite as secure as Lily - he's a little nervous of noises. But he's lovely and such a lovebug.

Here he is


Tolly in his carrier when we first got home (looking a little scared)



After a little while familiarising himself - he made friends with daddy



Then he climbed up on my lap and decided to make himself at home



After which he moved over to the sofa where daughter was sitting and decided it was time for a wash



Followed by a bit more fuss



Then he posed for a photo - he is a very handsome boy

Aw... What an adorable little guy you have
It's so wonderful he is feeling right at home.
You are so lucky! Know you just have to get used to " No Tolly ! ... Um I mean Lily ... or is it Tolly?"

What a lovely outcome to such a sad story. It looks like Tolstoy is fitting it very well.


I just love Singapura's, and if Tolly is anything like little Lily, I'm sure he'll make a wonderful companion.

I my God, he is absolutely BEAUTIFU! i LOVE all of the pictures of him, but I just adore the one with his little tongue out. I'm so sorry that he lost his original, mother, but I'm so happy that he found a loving new home to go to. He's WONDERFUL!

Chris - you are so right - Tolly just walked into the living room and hubby said "hello.....no which one are you?"


Tolly thanks everyone so much and say "YIOW" (his favourite word today) to Chris, Eilcon, lovemycodygirl and Susie.

Vespacat - thank you. Although I think all kitties are special and love my indoor/outdoor girls to bits, Singapuras have a special attraction for me. They really are into everything though. Tolly and Lily seem to have hit it off straight away. They are brother and sister, although not from the same litter.

Hope - thank you. I know how much you like Singapuras and thought of you when the breeder phoned us last week and told us of poor Tolly.

Tracey & Amy - thank you. Amy - Tolly is a Singapura.

You are going to have to start doing what I do with the black cats - color coded collars.
I can tell them apart if they are sitting still - but when they fly by, I need the colors to figure out who is in trouble.

Oh my goodness Beth!!!, he's gorgeous!
and i can't get over how much he looks like Lily as well!.

I'm sure Tolly's former owner will RIP now that she knows her little boy is in good hands

Yippee, Beth! Congratulations on your new addition!
Tolly, you're such a gorgeous little boy!
He so quickly has become comforable with his new family, and it's just so wonderful he and Lily got on so well right from the beginning! You must be filled with such joy! Welcome to the family, Tolly!
