That is so sweet! Raymondo and Harriet look very happy, match made in heaven
That made me smile!!
What a great way to start my morning!
Awwwww, such a cutie – both of them actually but I’m a sucker for a kitty. Raymond reminds me a lot of my friend Judy’s handsome boy named Lomas (who also assists in yarny activities). Have a great weekend.
Tooooo gorgeous xxx
hehe! priceless!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Raymond and Harriet love! Happy Friday! Hope you are thawing out now that KB is home
Aw, two little monsters
What a fantastic photo
Love Raymond’s expression 
That is absolutely precious! Most certainly a picture to keep with you to make you smile when things are down
~Lacey
Raymond looks very happy with his buddy, too cute!
Tell Raymond he is most definitely the handsome one in the picture!!
This is just soooooooooooooooooo cute! He has the expression of our cat, Simba -I know it well. You do realise that Raymond is in LOVE with this little creature! I think the word he is acting out is, ‘Bliss!’
Looks like they were meant to be!!!
What a lovely couple, that is one very handsome cat
Karen

As usual, Raymond is adorable and graces the pictures you take. The underbite is a cute touch for the monster too! Enjoy the day!
That is just too cute for words!
So cute!!!
So cute!!!!
Raymond looks rather smug – almost like he is trying to say he knit Harriet!
Have a great weekend
Carole xXx

They go so well together….feel the purrr!!!
If Raymond is happy, then the world is happy.

Raymond is such a cool sophisticated cat – if famous actors where cats Johhny Depp would be Raymond
hahahaha, so cute!
Carol xx
this made me giggle out loud
Thank you, thank you for a smile this afternoon, I will print Raymond’s picture and put it on the
wall above my computer with all the others!!!
Sarah From Texas
Adorable! ♥
Awwwww!
The profound with the absurd, what a contrast.
Love the “what are you waking me up with this flash in the face for…?” look on Raymonds face. Priceless
Sonia and Fred xx
Looks as though you need to make one for Alice, because he’s clearly saying MINE ALL MINE.
Hi Alice, that emporium is in Porirua. It’s called Pete’s Emporium and it’s in Parumoana Street. Buttons galore, some wool (mostly acrylic but still a lovely selection and at 10 balls for $25 a pretty good price too!) and fabric as well as all the other emporium type stuff. Plenty of toys for Raymond too!!! Leah x
Awwww! Look at them, bezzies already!
Classic Alice! xox
Awwww, soooooo cute!
so cute – Raymond looks very happy with his new friend
Raymond is like my cat – gorgeousness on legs!!
Raymond has mastered the look of a true celebrity. He looks at the camera as if he was born to be worshiped.
I wonder what secrets Raymond will be telling his new friend!
Just to let you know I have awarded you the Versitile Blogger Award on my blog. Please check it out and I hope you accept! xx gemmipopdesigns.blogspot.com
Ahh so cute
Awww, I love this! Very sweet
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Perfection in a photo!!
I can see Raymond’s game, he had his eye on Harriet the whole time! Harriet looks perfectly happy, how wonderful that they’re so compatible!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful picture Alice, it’s just adorable, and Raymond is just devastatingly handsome. Vanessa xxx
Gorgeous!! Both of them!!
