New members of the Household

Well, we did it.
We went to D'Arcy's Arc yesterday and came back with not one, but two kitties!

They're brother and sister, Basil and Cora (their original names at the shelter were Bruncle and Connie, but they didn't fit...although Bruncle was a composite name for Brother-Uncle, because they were found together...with kittens...and it was highly suspicious that he was the father. Sick little incestuous kitties...heh!).

Anyways, they're adorable. If I had a damn digital camera, I'd post their little faces here. They're both tabbies, dark grey with black bands. Cora is a little dwarf kitty (teeny, tiny little body!) and Basil is a big oaf of a kitty. Both very affectionate. Although last night, they (especially Basil) were a wee bit TOO affectionate! Basil kept trying to lick my face and arms and neck and burrow under the blankets! Kept me up half the night, little stinker. I thought we bought a kitty, not a dog! First night for them, and lots to see. They should settle down in a couple of days.

Introducing them to the house is like introducing goldfish to an aquarium. A little at a time. Not that we don't want them the run of the house. They kinda freaked when we brought them home. Too much space!!! (compared to the shelter rooms they were living in). They're getting comfortable with upstairs, and slowly making their way downstairs. Cuties.

They're a little younger than we were looking for (they're both approximately a year old), so still very hyper and excitable. Well, Basil is. Cora is much more laid back. It's so cool to see their little personalities!

Okay, back to work. Cleaning up the house, and re-cat proofing the place! We've lived with lazy, fat, old cats for far too long! They didn't care about jumping up on counters and stuff. Plus, they knew they're boundaries. These youngins are just learning.

Cuties.
