Disco Kitty
At first the packaging was tiny, grey all over with the exception of white markings around the face and a mostly white belly, with the deepest of deep blue eyes. Over time though, the packaging has grown significantly, with further growth expected and her grey back has developed white-silver stripes. The eyes have kept a tiny bit of blue around the iris, but are mostly green now. Despite the changes, she remains an absolute cutie, and feels as soft as a teddy bear. In addition, she has the sharpest white eyeliner, that puts even her owner’s to shame.
Her application is really second to none. Everything she does, she puts her whole heart in to it. Whether that’s running up the stairs, playfighting with Alexis, ripping up the furniture, attacking our hands, somersaulting in the air chasing ribbons, failing to catch that dastardly red dot, running back down the stairs or intimidating Alisa with her never-give-up attitude. Due to her exceedingly good manners though, she has been welcomed by all of our cats and built up a good rapport with them. Her latest thing is to give Girl a little massage and then flop over her to sleep. Girl may pretend to be annoyed, but deep down, we know she loves every second.
- She has the funniest, quirkiest mannerisms! Every time I look her in the eye, she’ll make a half purr half meow noise. She also has a habit of doing a half-loaf, where she lays down, half on your shoulder, half on the sofa with her front paws in that cute folded up position that cats love that makes them look like a loaf of bread.
- Every morning, she’ll come in to the bedroom, sit on my chest and rub noses with me. Normal cat behavior, but she gets a little bit too happy, and starts licking and nibbling on my nostrils, before trying to force her nose inside mine.
- She sure knows how to pose for the camera, like a pro. I wish she could teach me. She refuses.
- She sits in the bathroom while I’m showering, looking at me all horrified, often crying at the top of her voice before trying to jump in and rescue me. #TrueStory
- When sleeping, she will often lie face down on the floor. Or she will sleep over Girl, like she’s literally piled on top of her. Sometimes if I can’t find her, frantically looking around thinking she’s ran outside, I find her, literally underneath Girl, as if she’s just laid an egg.
- When the postman comes, she’ll drop whatever she’s doing (even sleeping) and run to the front door to see if her mail has arrived.
- When I talk in my sleep, without fail she’ll hear me, run to the bedroom door and cry for half an hour to be let in, just to check up on me.
- Every time I walk down the stairs, she’ll get me into an ankle lock. I think she’s trying to protect me.
- You could be curled up on the sofa, relaxing and watching a film. Then halfway through, you’ll look down and notice she’s curled up on you, and you think “how did she get here?”
- Cleverness – from an early age, she quickly worked out that she can’t quite reach a lot of places in one jump. She knows the kitchen worktops is where all the food magic happens, so she climbs a complex web of objects in order to reach.
- She wakes me up every morning.
- At night, when she runs around playing, it sounds like we have burglars. On more than one occasion, one of us have went downstairs with a baseball bat, just in case.
- Never does as she’s told – how am I ever going to launch your modelling career at this rate?!
- She steals my food.
- She drinks my tea.
- She wakes me up at 7am every weekend. Then steals my breakfast. Then drinks my tea.
- SHE’S SO CUTE IT HURTS
“Oh darling, this hooman has style..”

December 15, 2016I think my heart just blew up into a million sparkly pieces. Its a shame shes limited edition, I would of snapped one up. Saying that I have five cats and I fear if I tip over the edge to 6 cats my fiancee may leave me. Would kinda be worth it though…. x

January 2, 2017I loved this post so much! What a brilliant idea to write it as a review. Marina is so adorable and I'd love to have a cat one day (I'm currently a catless cat lady *sobs*).
