Meet Monty...

Hello,

I know, I've been a terrible blogger this week. I don't really know what happened, I was just feeling lazy! I did spend a lovely Friday afternoon shopping (or browsing in my case) with the lovely Eileen formerly of The Shoe of Salvation. She really is a sweet heart and I hope we catch up again soon.

On Saturday we browsed around around our local market and I picked up some awesome kitchy porcelain cat figurines. We are currently scouring the Sydneyside for cool things to decorate our house with (our stuff still hasn't actually even left NZ yet and isn't likely to for another two months!!!!). David and I also caught up with a former collegue of mine who moved here in November for lunch.


And to make up for my complete lack of bloggy goodness, how about ALOT of cute pictures of the latest edition to our family?


Meet Monty!!



He likes to bite things...





And get into high-ish places...


He loves getting into things... The Fridge:

Bowls:



And paper bags, to name a few:


He loves Mocha Biddy and follows her everywhere. She likes him sometimes, when he isn't being annoying and/or biting her. When that does happen, she gets her own back...



And at the end of the day, there is nothing he likes more than a nap with his favourite toy, Green Dude...

And because Mocha is super cute too, here are two photos of her...

The green pot is supposed to have tomatoes in it, but we haven't quite gotten around to planting them. Its starting to get cold too so they might have to wait until spring unfortunately.
We have no grass in our yard and so we have a couple of pots of cat grass around the place. We have to keep them away from Monty because he just likes to play with it and squash it.

And that is our small furry family :)

Tomorrow is my very first day at work, eek! I'm nervous, but very much looking forward to it. I don't expect to be around much this week either as I settle into full time work again, so I apologise in advance.


But on the plus, I have a dinner date this Thursday with E. - fingers crossed I'm not sick again and Sydney's weather has finally given us a break from the heat. For the past two days we have been snuggling up in layers - fingers crossed it stays like this!


Have a fantastic week everyone, and thank you so much for reading and leaving comments, it means so much to me!

Awww Monty is so cute! I like how he's entirely black, apart from his white paws and, ehm, beard? Do you call it a beard when it's about a cat? Haha. Anyway, he's adorable!

Aww, the little kitty is adorable! Our Audrey loves to hide in paper bags, baskets, and sometimes even my purse, but we have yet to see whether she'd be interested in a bowl! :) I hope your first work day goes well!

R. said...

Ah, how cute is Monty?! I love his little white paws :)

Also, thumbs up for the Haighs visit. Have you tried their chocolate before? What did you get? (I swear by their Vanilla Fudge Bars!)

Eeek! Cute kitty pictures! They are both so adorable... I've been feeling weak lately about my resolve not to get any more pets (namely a cat) for the moment--our little bunny is a handful! But these two... gah! hehe! ;)
