The adventures of a small axolotl called Kitty

A couple of weeks ago, the moment I'd been waiting for for aaages (well, ok, a month) finally arrived- the postman knocked on the door and handed me a little parcel, and I ran upstairs to open it. After layers and layers of bubble wrap and sellotape, there she was- a little water marshmallow!



Before I say any more, sorry about the awful photo quality. Need to get my hands on a decent camera. Also that I won't know if the little one is male or female for another six months or so, but for the moment it's a she and is called Kitty (regardless of gender outcome- poor thing doesn't need the burden of gender, and Kitty is a perfectly acceptable name for a male swimmy weird thing too!). Mostly because of this:



So after a little while of floating in the tank in the bag she arrived in, to get used to the temperature, Kitty was released into her new home.



Everything a little lotl could want- a teapot and mug, some bogwood and a stone thingy to play in, and some plants (which I've bought since taking this photo). And a lovely painted background, from a lovely lady. She's settling in nicely- thisphoto is ridiculously blurry, but I love how she's looking at the camera (ok, phone) with her little beady eyes.



To be continued!
