London Cat

Mithril (named after the elvish metal in the movie ‘Lord of the Rings’) is a Somali cat that has taken over our hearts.

Proud mommy cat

Second nipple from the left

Where are my ears?

Already pulling on our heart strings

Stoutgat!

A heart melting moment

The bed arrives

A pet shop's worth of toys

All ready to leave the breeder after 12 weeks

Pushing the boundaries maybe?

Home is set up

Daddy's little furball

Are we crossed with a squirrel?

Thank goodness he grew out of the curtain climbing phase

Johann losing a game of hide and seek

Spoilt rotten!

Show material

He fetches and carries balls just like a dog

On the train to Milton Keynes to stay with his cousins

Mithril's first grass experience

Notice how long the lead is

Tasty butterflies

Mithril's cousins, BK and GK

We threw a party to celebrate Mithril's first birthday

I love you so much!!

All partyed out!

The day before Mithril's first cat show we decided he needed a bath

He ain't going to win any show looking like that :-)

That's what I think of you lot

Let me out of this white hell

Some lurve from mommy

Daddy's magic touch

Grooming time before the judging

He felt a lot safer hiding from everyone

The competition!

Judging

We are not going to win any rosettes with this behaviour Mr

The result

Tears of joy after his first rosette

More poking and prodding

The judge wrote an essay once he had finished judging Mithril

All the kitties

Johann talking to the competition

And still some more judging

Pizza break for Cara & Johann
