This is the story of Elsa our 'bronze tabby' Maine Coon cross British Shorthair, shes only 6 months old so her life has only just began, this is its story so far.....
Throughout 2005 we were searching for another kitten, we went through various breeds; Siamese, orientals, exotics, bengals, Maine coon's and the good ol' moggy. But allways something seemed too go wrong whether it was travel or the sort of kitten we were intersted in had gone...we were very disheartned as many of you know. Then one day, an aunt of mine took us too the house of a friend of her friend, where i met Elsa. There were a whole loada kittens in the study sort of place, some grey and white plush coated and then Elsa...apparentlly persians cross british shorthair, although Elsa didnt look like it. It turned out after we had gotten Elsa, her mum was the ladies lovely young Maine coon who had also been caught by the randy british Shorthair, apaprentlly most of her litter had died bar Elsa and her ginger bro...so they were put in with the persian and her kittens which were their half siblings, as they stood more of a chance of survival this way. Anyway from the first moment i saw Elsa i was smitten, and knew she was going too be ours!! There was an odd feeling about the 'breeder' though, but Elsa was too gorgeous too leave because of a 'feeling' i had about the 'breeder'.

Elsa's ma, the Maine coon. I seem too have lost the pic of Elsa's dad:(
On Novemeber the 5th Elsa came home, she was tiny and very sweet but oddly timid...and she was very quiet too but we just thought it was settling in time. As soon as we got her home she tottered over to one of the dogs, Florrie our 10 month old westie cross dandie dinmont, from that moment too this they have been stuck at the hip!!

Life with Elsa was far from dull...but there was still something that wasn't quite right. Then one fatefull day she became very poorly and we nearly lost her!! The vet said basically her ailments could ahve been prevented by the 'breeder' raising the kittens a lot better than what she had done!!! We contacted the so called 'breeder' and she was less than helpful too put it midly!! After a while, Elsa got back on her feet and mroe than made up for her under the weather time, she got everywhere, destroyed everything.....and her thieiving habbit occured!lol
Elsa is a thief..im not sure why but shes done it since an early age, she steals everything; Toast, crisp packets, socks, gloves, underwear (:oops:), pens, shoelaces, newspapers...basically everything! She stashes it in the big draw under my bed, so yes that does mean i have too check every night and empty her stash...she allways sits and watches me and looks as if too say "Damn ive worked so bloody hard for that lot!!" :lol::lol:
As time tends too do...it went on, and Elsa grew, she was quite large when she was about 3 months old'ish, i thought she just was having a growth spurt...didnt realsie this would literally be the 'shape' of things too come!

After her sticky patch she really took like a duck too water, to life with the other pets. She literally became one of the family!! When ELsa was poorly the other pets would lie with her and jsut watch her sleep (give a big awwwwwwww!!)

Elsa especially took too Florrie, shes her partner in crime!!
Ela is just one of those curious cats, she has the oddest habbits ive ever known!! She likes to sit by you and chirrup along when your on the telephone, until you actually have to say "Yes Elsa i know" it does shut her up, but actually makes whoever is on the other end think im barmy:-DShe also has a thing about dogs and washing...our dogs, family members dogs, friends dogs, neighbours dogs and if they dislike cats, well in Elsa's books thats tuff!! Elsa loves too wash dogs faces..no dog can get in, out or even past our house if Elsa is in the vicinety..without getting washed. She is a right bossy mare and i dont think the dogs would all like too disgaree with her!!
in 2 days time Elsa will be a whole 6 months old, her life has really just began and im sure shes gonna be one that going too keep us on our toes for a long time!!! Keep checking back and forth cause this page will be updated as Elsa grows and experience 'new' things:D
