Gwen can go from sweet to spicy, just in the blink of an eye!

I've decided that her species is Pixie Panther.

ALL of the kid cats have accepted her - even Carys! Gwen does give Merlin an occasional swat, I guess just to show him how it feels in case he forgot.

She's been pretty active this morning. Hopefully she will take a LONG snooze.

Explain to her it’s probably better not to swat a Wizard.🧙‍♂️

One of the bravest woman that the vast majority of people have never heard of. In 1166 she led an army of Welshmen against the Normans and won the first round. Had she not been betrayed by Gruffydd ap Llewellyn, who revealed her location, she likely would have won the second. The Normans beheaded her on the battlefield.

A great Welsh Battle Cry is 'Ddail Achos Gwenllian!' (Revenge for Gwenllian!)

I love Welsh history. That's why my kid cats always get STRONG Welsh names.

She is an ideal kitten, that's for sure. She never backed down or flinched when the bigger kid cats hissed. She took the swats like a champion. Now she easily approaches them and they occasionally even give her head a quick wash.

Gwen reminds me SO much of my beloved Morgan.

She's come back to you.

Gwen sounds like she's going to bring a lot of fun moments to the whole house. I love that the bigger cats see that she's a baby and are actually acting pretty cool about her being there. Two weeks seems to be the magic time frame.
