new addition to the family - Miss Gypsie the Squash Face

she's a calico (tri-colour in layman) and she's an exotic shorthair. wanted to name her Egypt at first, cos to me Egypt is so exotic right, but jim said it sounded funny-strange (my hubby here has no creativity in his bones whatsoever, engineer la sangat) so the twist is to put smthg cute at the end of the name, hence Gypsie :)

she's a ball of fur, scared out of her wits right now at being brought into a new home. i'm doing so much reading on cat behavior from the net this morning, trying to understand her initial timidity and hopefully i can also understand panda the manda's behavior along the way.

our Gypsie gurl :)

daddy & Gypsie :)

she's 7 months old but still very small in size. one cat book said that exotic shorthairs mature only at 3 years old. hope she lives longer than that with us!

welcome Gypsie gurl, u'll love your new home sooner that u think! :)

o ya, after the much hoo-haa over adoptin vs buying a cat with jim last week, i had to cave in lah with Gypsie. we got her at RM550 (yikes!) i know i know... so much money for smthg that has no warranty kan. but then jim is also getting me a diamond necklace so it's like a package lah, "kitten comes with diamonds" haha. i got my cake and i'm eating it too! woohoo! daddy better keep his promise, or else (harumph).
