She is absolutely adorable :D Picked her up a week ago from a rescue centre in Bordon, Hampshire (it doubles as a pet hotel). Didn't realise it was so far away (almost an hour) and she mewed all the way back!
She's settled in fine, was using the litter tray the following day and is the liveliest thing you could imagine! Tears around the place at top speed, pounces on everything, and climbs without any problem (apart from on the way down lol)
I took her back in a pet carrier with an Arsenal towel, maybe that was the reason for the fuss! It doesn't seem to have scarred here fortunately.
A few days ago I put her into her bed with the blanket, before going back to mine. 30 seconds later she was scratching my bed. So I switched the light off first before putting her back, to see if she'd get the hint. Very soon after she leapt onto my bed in the dark, and started purring in my ear. I'm afraid I gave in to this blatant display of emotional blackmail, gave her a stroke, and she cuddled up next to me and fell asleep!
When I registered her at the vets, I was asked what she is being fed. "Tesco kitten food and Whiskas kitten biscuits" (It was all they had!) I replied. "That's okay, isn't it?" "Um, well it's okay, but we recommend you use Royal Canin to help her grow properly" Anyway, I get my free kitten pack, which has some free samples of the said food. I put some of it on her plate...and she won't touch it. That settles that then!
She's getting her first injection tomorrow, fortunately the vet is just down the road, as she clearly does not enjoy the car journey!
I will try and get some photos up for the next post, if I can sort out how to upload them from my new camera phone (you can guess why I finally bought it!)
I can't imagine life without her :D :D :D

Good Man.
My Mother in Law is thinking about setting up one of these Cat Rescue Centres. A real labour of love.
Apart from the Arsenal Towel it sounds like she is settling in well. Let's hope there are no lasting scars eh!
Good Luck and I for one can't wait to see the pics!

Very cute. I can't wait to see.
(although, I think you should consider getting her a brother or sister to keep her company)

Thanks both. Cute is definitely the word :D
I considered getting a second but there was only one from the litter (the rest were all taken) and I don't think another from a different one would have been a good idea. Fortunately I only work 10 minutes away from home, so it's easy to nip back for 30 minutes in my lunchour to keep her company, so she doesn't go the whole day on her own.
