The Kittens have arrived

The kittens are finally here. We first saw them 4 to 5 weeks ago and chose 2 from a litter of 6. They are both females. One is a blue colourpoint and the other is a seal mitted Ragdoll. There are 3 varients of the original lines of ragdolls, bi-colour being the other one. We preferred the mitted and colourpoints because of their facial markings. The bi-colours have an inverted v-shaped white patch over their face. They are still nice and its all a matter of personal taste.

This is Ariel, the seal mitted one. She is quite lively and often difficult to catch on picture


This is Misty, the blue colourpoint

Kittens with visitors

Blair Drummond Safari Park

On Sunday we visited Blair Drummond Safari Park. Well worth a visit. You need a full day as there are a few rides, a boat trip and of course the drive through reserve.

Sensation, Dundee

On Saturday we visited Dundee, stopping off at Sensation after visiting Camperdown Park (see earlier Blog entry). Sensation is similar to Satrosphere in Aberdeen and isn't far from Discovery point, near the train station.

Camperdown Park, Dundee

On Saturday we went to Camperdown Park and visited the resident animals. We have been before but probably more than 5 years ago. It's much better laid out than it used to be. There are a mixture of farm and wild animals as you'll see.

Can you guess who this paw print belongs to?

K and Donkey. Where's Shrek?

Could the paw print belong to these elephants? I don't think so!

It's too big to belong to Pepe Le Pew!

Big Bird, perhaps? No.

Could the paw print belong to this Lazzzy Bear. Oh Yes!
