New Additions

We have two new additons to Chez Smith. Not content with four cats, Ffion went out on Monday and bought two Chinese Dwarf Hamsters who are now in situ in her bedroom in what can only be described as a spaceage hi tech hamster cage.... personally I think she only bought them for the cage.


They are called Iggle Piggle and Haribo... I have absolutely no idea why, personally I wanted to call them John and Edward but as they are two girls that wasn't really appropriate... or maybe it was!

This is a fleeting glimpse of one of them... not sure if it is Iggle Piggle or Haribo. Ffion and Craig can tell them apart but I can't yet. The cats have not yet twigged that they are sharing their house with what to them would be a light snack and we are all under strict instructions to make sure Ffion's bedroom door is kept firmly shut... I still have a horrible feeling it will end in tears.

Actually my cats showed no interest at all in our hamster, and I tried showing him to them. Was the dog who was more interested in having him for a snack :-x

We had two of those once, called Cookie and Chi. They are very cute, but harder to cuddle than the usual kind...they're not exactly famous for sitting still for any length of time, and have a tendency to just jump wildly out of your hand at will.... and they're eyesight isn't good enough to see if they're going to hit carpet or a cats open mouth!
