Luna...


Well, I knew I couldn’t last out much longer and when Holly began to ask for a cat (again) a few days ago - and despite me pretending that I would never have another cat, not ever, ever - and despite all my concerns about the responsibility and how eventually, one day, you end up so very sad - and even though I am trying to simplify my life not complicate it further – and even though this – and even though that – and even though whatever…I gave in, I had to. Life without a cat is like a glass without wine to me -and besides I need the love

So, meet Luna – goddess of the moon on earth. Well, that’s the name we’ve given her anyway; Luna white as the glow of the moon on the frosty field on a winter’s night, soft as a moonbeam dancing in the dust through a darkened bedroom window. As yet I have no idea what she calls herself but I’m already hearing some of her other names – Lu-Lu, Lu-La…and others will come along I’m sure. Cats have so many names; they creep into existence and sometimes pop out again.

We had a choice of two, both white, but when I saw the green eye and the blue, well – no contest (sorry other kitten if only I could have afforded you both). Luna Sparkle Eyes – see there’s another.

Luna… and look here comes another name… Missy Mixy Peepy Popple Puss.

Let the magic begin!

    Tim Preston Are you doing that thing where you tickle her tummy and she rips shreds out of your hand with there back claws :O)


    Sharon Taylor she must be a fan of David Bowie with those eyes. Luna is beautiful and such a pose for the camera, now you have made me broody for a little kitten, but don't let my Minstrel hear, he may get jealous as he is still my baby even at 13 :O))


    Mick Norman Aww, beautiful Andi! Oh and you'll be pleased to know that the jar made it back safe with Sam!


    David Bell David Bowie eyes?

    Andrew Height Yes one blue and one green didn't know until we turned up. She's very gentle, has eaten, used her litter tray and is asleep under the table in the kitchen on my laptop bag. The eyes did it for me.

    Andrew Height Let the magic begin!

    Andrew Height ‎David Bowie eyes and she's not deaf like many whites..

    Andrew Casson Sorry, I removed my comment there when I realised I hadn't read all of your initial description... didn't know you'd responded already!


    Andrew Casson Good she's not deaf like our Álvar then... I was wondering about that!

    Andrew Height Those black spots between her ears are indicators, they may fade but I quite like her second set of eyes. She reacts to noise well... let the magic begin!

    Andrew Height Like the name Alvar Andrew.


    Sharon Taylor the eyes have it !!!!!!!!!!! Good vote x


    Stephanie Ashton wow...she is stunning x

    Andrew Height Yes, but I really can't take the credit :-)


    Sharon Taylor you chose her, that's the credit,where did you find her?

    Andrew Height Search on the internet, about 12 miles up the road.


    Sharon Taylor very cybercat, mine have been RSPCA, friends whose cat has had an 'accident' or a stray who needed a home, I expect my next cat will be by accident, there is a stray cat with no tail hanging around our new house..............

    Lynda Pasquarello Henderson Luna!! Maggie has a Luna. What an amazing kitty. Love the eyes!

    Andrew Height How weird, a strange coincidence in a kismet universe.


    Della Jayne Roberts ♥ Luna is adorable. Charlie (14 - black/white boots and vest) and Tim (no longer with us - long haired fluffy tomcat) were both from Cats Protection League. Supposedly for Jed - instead of a dog. We are cat people. Do you remember Jet and Taz (she was Jet's kitten and was white with blue eyes). Lived with Mum & Dad at Hawthorn Grove in Exmouth. ✨

    Cats Sleep Anywhere
    Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair.
    Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge.
    Open draw, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do.
    Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks.
    Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.

    Brilliant Andy! Bizarre thing is we got a half Tabby/Siberian kitten in Feb and called it Luna. She's just been neutered bless her but doing great too!

    Small world Duncan. Our Luna has one green eye and one blue, she's a magic cat.
