Introducing....

our newest family member. Spike.

He's six weeks old, slightly mental in the way that only kittens (and puppies) can be and has just about stolen my heart.

We saw him yesterday and Hubby, who is usually the hard-hearted one and had sworn he didn't ever want another cat, decided then and there that this little boy was the cat for us. He did some serious sweet-talking until I caved and so we collected him today.

The kids are completely captivated and if they don't kill poor Spike with kindess or wear him out completely with their 'playing' within the week I'll be pleasantly surprised.
