Haven’t quite got over Youngest’s belated birthday party, yet. Five Youngest compatibles stayed over last night, quite a shock to the system. And tonight we have to go to a bonfire for Lag Ba’Omer.

I have been wondering why all these European kittens in the photos are so chubby and healthy-looking, while Shoosha is eating us out of house and home, and remaining just as scrawny looking as on the day she arrived.

Something to do with ancestry, perhaps? There is something of the Cleopatra/Queen of Sheba look about her, don’t you think?

Update: Alisa suggests that she does look like this Egyptian cat, from here.
