Our next door neighbour has two cats. One a siamese like the ones in Lady & the Tramp and the other is a beautiful chocolate brown (but I don't knw the breed I've never really paid much attention)

Elana had been really quiet for the last 10 minutes or so - usually I know what she's doing by the sounds around her but I heard NO noise. So I went to investigate.

She heard me coming as she always does and came towards me dummy firmly planted in mouth (hence the silence) then she turned around and ran back to the door - I squated down to see what had piqued her interest, a passer by, a car, a truck. Lying in our driveway were the neighbours two cats, one was outstretched sleeping the other was sitting beside it.

I said Oh Cats - and she giggled standing there memorised. After a cuddle I left her there to watch the cats sleeping and came to blog about it. She's there still.

** Wait I speak too soon - she's in the playroom with blocks now, maybe the cats got up and left or maybe she just got bored watching

Isnt it wonderful how little things that we never think twice about can catch little children's attention? The mesmerized look on their face is so cute!

that's really cute! it's funny how little kids love animals so much -- my cousin came to stay when she was about 2 or 3 and fell in love with dommie (my horse). she wanted to pat him and cuddle him constantly.

i reckon the dark brown cat might be a siamese as well. the harts used to have cats which were born from the same litter: one was siamese (like the ones in lady and the tramp) and the other was so brown it was nearly black. i'd never realised before that siamese cat's could be different coloured to the ones in the movie.

You know you might be right - it's a very pretty cat (if I liked cats...)

*sigh* Nick just left he'll be back late tomorrow night I miss him already and he's been gone 10minutes. Rin will be here sometime after she wakes up

Happy Easter Teegie I hope whatever you do is really cool (I had heard you'd be in NZ?)
