Busy, Busy, Busy
Hello! I have been really busy over the last few weeks, so apologies to those of you awaiting an update.
I've been out visiting this month and have met lots of new people.
A few weeks ago, we went to visit some friends and I met a really stupid dog by the name of 'He-Man'. I'm not quite sure what he was for - most of the dog had been bred out of him, just leaving legs and ears. I think I scared him as he just sat vibrating at me for hours! The same day, I saw a fox sneaking around in our friends garden, but I wasn't allowed to play with it so I just watched through the window.
At the beginning of this month, I went to the countryside to visit a nice man at a timber yard - It was great fun, climbing over the piles of lovely smelling wood, getting covered in cobwebs and sawdust in a massive barn. I hope we visit again, I had a really good time.
I'm still eating lots and I'm getting heavier, although I've had a bit of an upset tummy recently - probably down to all the different types of food I've been trying. I think I'm getting used to it now, and everything is settling down again.
Mum and dad have been playing with me lots and have built me lots of tunnels to run through and hide in. I'm getting quite accurate at diving through them now and they provide the perfect spot for ambushing Izzy (aka Rattly Cat).
Izzy and I are getting on a bit better, she's still moody most of the time, but on a couple of occasions, we've chased each other and played. I think she's finally getting used to having me around.
I've got a lovely bed on the radiator now, I can sit and watch dad on the computer and keep nice and warm now the weather is getting cooler. Dad has written me a program so you can sign-up and I can email you when I make updates. Feel free to use it, or keep checking the old-fashioned way. You can un-subscribe by entering your details and clicking the appropriate button.
Anyway, must be off; there's furniture to climb...

It's Finally Sunny!
Hello and welcome back for my latest news. Sorry it's been a while, but my dad has been hogging the computer.
A few weeks ago we went on a long journey to a big green place called Yorkshire. Rattly cat (who I have now found out is called Izzy), stayed behind to look after the house. I was put in my cage to start with, but soon after I got to sit on dad's lap all the way there. It was fun seeing all the big trucks, but I was sleeping most of the time.
It was very late when we stopped so I went straight back to sleep again. The next day, I found we were staying at a huge house with a very slippery floor that I really enjoyed sliding about on. Later on, mum and dad got dressed up and went out so I got to sit by the nice warm fire with two lovely people who I presume are grandparents to some degree.
The journey back took much longer as we were stopped for a lot of it. It was very hot in the Mechanical Snail because it was very sunny. I did a lot of sleeping. It was good to get back and even Izzy seemed somewhat pleased to see me!
The next weekend I met another nice lady who stayed with us for a few days. She was quite loud, but she was very friendly. More grandparents I guess, but only one of them this time...
This weekend, dad mowed the lawn and afterwards, I went out in my smart purple braces for an explore. I felt a bit exposed in the middle of the lawn, so I stuck to the edges and hid in the long grass, which felt oddly familiar.
I'm making the most of this sunny weather business by lying in it as much as possible, so I'm going to sign off for now.

PS, in answer to your questions:
* I am generally known as Higgins - to use my full name for anything other than formal communication would be most inconvenient.
* As you will see from the new pictures, my eyes are getting more dangerously yellow by the day... My teeth and claws are getting sharper too ;o)

Settling in
My last couple of weeks have been very busy. I'm eating lots of food now and making lots of bad smells; much to the displeasure of my owners. I've got into a bit of a routine where I eat, poop, bounce around, then sleep; rinse, repeat.
I'm now allowed to run around the whole house when I'm on my own. Most of the time I spend either sleeping or chasing Rattly Cat. We're getting on better now, but I think she's still a little unsure of me. Still, I'm giving the annoying-kid-brother act my best efforts.
I went back to the vet a couple of days ago where they made lots of fuss over me. They're all happy to see me growing and getting ever larger. I weigh 1.56kg now, which is about 3 and a half pounds. I'm not quite sure if that's with or without a full stomach!
My voice is getting louder too, although I'm still a bit squeaky. Practice makes perfect, so I'm shouting at everything I see. I'll get the hang of it soon I'm sure.
I'm going on holiday this evening but I'll make sure to tell you all about it when I get back...

PS - Tack för dig snäll budskap, "Ful Svenglish byfåne". Jag se fram emot möte du snart också. (Se apology efter min förskräcklig svensk - Jag ar bara elva veckor ålder!)

My First Week...
Hello,
My name is Francis Bernard Fenton-Higgins. I am a nine week old Savannah kitten. Herein I plan to record some of the details of my life.
I have been in my new home for six nights now.
My new owners collected me on Saturday. I said goodbye to my mummy and was put in a huge cage in what looked to me like a giant mechanical snail. It was a bit scary, so I hid under my blanket until curiosity drew me out after a few minutes. I climbed out of the cage and had a look around, but then I got scared again and hid under the seat until we stopped moving.
I got in the cage and was moved into a big house. Immediately a big, rattly cat came over and started sniffing me. I wasn't quite sure of her so I hissed like my mummy taught me. That seemed to work. I think she's just a big girl - hopefully we'll become friends soon.
Sunday was filled with lots of playing and sleeping. There are lots of things to play with here and I suspect many more rooms to explore when I manage to get out of the door...
I was limping a bit on Monday, (probably from jumping about so much) and my owners were a bit concerned so they took me to the vet. The girls there all made such a fuss of me. I had a couple of x-rays, but there was nothing to worry about; I'm jumping about quite happily now - ever higher too!
The rest of the week has been a bit of a blur - lots more sleeping and playing. Rattly-cat is slowly getting used to me now and I've been allowed to explore the rest of the house now. Running up and down the stairs is great fun, almost as good as my piece of string.
I've not been eating much since I got here, but today I've managed to eat half a tin of meaty paste. I'll try to eat some more later; it really helps to keep me jumping! My new dad tried to entice me with jelly covered cod chunks in milk this morning but I just turned my nose up - It smelled horrid.
I'm going to put up some pictures and play in a basket for a bit now.
