We are thrilled with the arrival of Valentine. He was a complete angel on the journey home, watching the world go psat the window. Firstly I have to thank Kat of Schimmel Orientals for trusting me with this handsome boy, and for bringing him up so well. Secondly I have to thank my dearest friend Katherine for making it possible for us to have him.
Valentine has settled in better than we could have imagined. He is confident, outgoing and affectionate. It is only his first full day here, and he is already happily exploring and playing, and coming to ask for cuddles. He also has a huge purr. Then we have his handsome face with those wonderful ears, his incredible spotted tabby markings, and his long lean frame. I have a feeling that this little guy is going to have us wrapped around his little finger in no time.
Of course we hope that Valentine continues to settle in with us, and grow into a big strong handsome boy. At some point next year we plan a mating between Valentine and Phoenix which we hope will produce some beautiful babies. For now though, we intend to enjoy every minute of our little boy growing up as a wonderful addition to our family.
We have some photos already in Valentine's gallery, and will be regularly adding new ones.
