Balu and
Kitty celebrate their
6th Official Birthday today. Maybe "celebrate" is too strong a word. To be honest, I don't think they're the slightest bit interested.
Here, I tried having an "official birthday photo-shoot", for posterity, but all I got were some very serious expressions and a bit of a sneer from Kitty.

How they're feeling, I cannot know, but today does bring bitter-sweet memories, as it is their first birthday without their brother
Khan, who we lost to kidney failure last November. It might be because Kitty didn't want to be shown with her shaved neck, after she had to have blood tests.
The best news is that this morning, Kitty, who is normally a very independent Miss and prefers to sleep alone, was in bed with me when I woke up, tucked in beside me. Balu was, as usual, sitting on my chest, shouting at me for his breakfast, so some things are normal at least!
