Nine!

That's what my lovely Russian Blue girl Delia is today.
It doesn't seem all that long ago when she was like this, teapot sized. And now look at her.
Here Delia is with her son Merlin. I was making the bed so the cushions where on the floor and when I wanted to put them back on the bed I found they had been claimed by my delightful dynamic duo.
So I rushed out to get my camera and started taking pics. And action!
Very lovey-dovey, aren't they?
They are inseparable, just like Delia once was with her brother Delius. It was quite a wrench to separate Delius and Delia when the time came for Delius to go to his new home with a good friend of mine
Delia and Delius

It was often difficult for me to say goodbye to the kittens when they went to their forever homes, especially in this case. But, as luck would have it, Delia found the new love of her life in her son Merlin, as Delius has in his daughter.

Here Delia is with Merlin (who else?) for a spot of synchronized snoozing.
Getting a wash,
and a cuddle.
Happy birthday, my darling girl, not forgetting your brother Delius, and many happy returns on the day.

In other news today:
The heatwave is long gone, we've had days filled with rain and the temperature dropped to a very chilly 14 C on some days. Today it's better with temperatures around 20 to 24 C, which is normal for high summer. We're all glad the heatwave is over but we are, at least Tara is, suffering from a different kind of heat. Poor girl.
Tara, not a puppy anymore.
