Pet of the Month for April 2021 is this absolutely gorgeous kitten by the name of Lilla.

Lilla is almost one year old, having been born last Easter. It was touch and go at first, due to her very small size, and the breeder was having to hand feed her. I got daily updates and pictures of her as she began to grow and thrive, I quickly became smitten with her, particularly as despite being by far the smallest of her litter, she was absolutely fearless and a real tomboy.

Lilla was named for the Italian word for lilac, as she’s a Burmese Lilac, and the Danish word for little, as even now that she has finished growing she remains kitten sized.

Thanks to her mischievous nature, the lockdowns have been anything but boring! She has more personality than one might imagine could fit into one small kitten. Lilla wakes us up most mornings by turning the TV on, as she sits on the Sky box - presumably for warmth. Her other favourite snuggle spot is on top of a just boiled kettle!

Her favourite thing in life is food. While we always give her top quality whole foods, she implacable in her pursuit of our meals! She especially loves eggs, marmite and porridge, and when I am stupid enough to be distracted while baking, I will find her with her head in the cake batter.

Lilla loves to play fetch with tiny pom-poms for an hour at a time, and is a skilled escapologist and loves to camouflage herself on various soft furnishings and lie in wait for us. No cardboard box can be brought into the house without her making a bed in it, and she also loves helping with the laundry, playing at shepherding the socks.
