introducing...

Mambokadzi! our new cat. her name means queen which she holds very well. she is still very shy because until last week she lived on her own outside but now she lives in our little flat with us! she is about 5 months old so she is very different from our last kitten who was totally dependent on us. she is quite happy to spend her day hiding under the bed or behind the curtain. she has warmed up enough to let us pick her up and she will stay on our laps if we are petting her. i think she has figured out that we are the hands that now feed her. there are two funny things about her that we both really enjoy: 1) when dan picks her up she spreads her front paws and "hugs" him 2) she is mostly black with a few orange specks but the tip of her tail is orange stripped!
