Just joined the forums before bed last night and thought I'd come and introduce myself quickly~!
I'm Sei, originally from London in the UK but moved to Japan at the start of 2005 and have never looked back. xD I've wanted a cat my entire life but, my mum is seriously allergic so it was just never possible, even when I moved out of home and went to university (because she'd have never been able to visit me).
But, now I live alone in Japan and since I recently found out I have a secure visa and am definitely going to stay here for a long time, I splurged and bought myself a little Russian Blue kitten called Shinya.
Shinya was only 6 weeks old when I bought her and she only had her first vaccination yesterday! (She's 9 weeks old now) It's been brought to my attention how INSANELY young this is (which I suspected anyway) but that's just the way Japan in with kittens/puppies.
She's a little ball of kitteny terror, tearing around the house and demanding attention 24/7 but I adore her more than anything else in the world so basically don't leave the house right now! We're always together.. she even sleeps with me now (impossible at first due to late night face pouncings! xD).. She's curled up on my lap as I type this and the only reason she's not interferring and trying to say hello by bouncing on the keyboard is because she's asleep!!
D
Anyway.. photos~!!
This is Shinya the day I got her at 6 weeks.
And a few days later.
And this is her just a couple of days ago at about 9 weeks old.
I really can't beleive how much she's grown in just 3 weeks!
Anyway, it's nearly breakfast time for both of us so I'd better head to the kitchen before she wakes up and starts screaming at me.. xD
