Flourish & Blotts

Calico cat's litter from last year were named FLOURISH & BLOTTS after bookstore in Harry Potter series, located on Diagon Alley in London, which claims to carry "every book ever published in Wizarding world", if I remember correctly!

FLOURISH is pale apricot with white face (looks like she fell in flour; her sibling BLOTTS looks like a multi-color cat (ginger & white) that rolled in spilled black ink! (think that coloration is known as "marbling".

Will describe "Fleur's" first litter next time...

P.S. Crookshank (name of Hermione's cat) was borrowed for local raven with deformed foot.
BTW, Rowling re-spelled name of George Cruikshank, famous early English illustrator of Fairy Tales, including "Puss in Boots". Link to photos of his work http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/illustrations/pussboots/cruikboots.html
(French phrase means "over the moon", idiomatic expression that I think means thrilled, extremely happy!) >^.^<
