Kitties!!!
Mar. 30th, 2009 05:32 amWe went on a visit to the SPCA yesterday. The intent was to bring an adult or two home; what we ended up with were two bundles of adorable four-month-old cute.
We asked for a pair that hopefully wouldn't kill each other. We were introduced to a wee boy and girl - the boy was instantly ALL OVER Tobermory, purring loud enough to cause echoes in the meet'n'greet room. The little girl, however, did NOT want to know us. At All.
Pretty as she was, we asked the SPCA person to return her to her nest, and find another lass. Colitis had come in with us, so we handed him the boy - who appears to mostly be a fusswhore and willing to love on anyone that will pat him for half an hour - while we tried to make friends with the girl. She was a bit nervy, which is fairly normal, but eventually came around and started to purr.
We took them home. They're toilet trained, which is the bit I really hate doing with little kittens, and they're adorable.
They're set up in our bedroom, with the ensuite as KittyFood and KittyToilet. (The litter tray is set up in the shower base. They've both demonstrated the ability to use it. I hate poopscooping..) They both slept on the bed with us last night. They're both purry affectionate little things, having the occasional small "rar!" sessions at each other, but that will pass. It's already gotten better since we got them home.
The boy is named Boomer, the girl Tegra.
Boomer is affectionate, friendly, into everything, and a total hog of the food. Tegra is a bit quieter - spent the first hour or so under the bed, until she suddenly decided that I was Human #1 and came out to absolutely maul my head with love (I was lying on the floor trying to coax her out). She hasn't eaten much yet, I'm not sure if that's nerves, or if she's scared of trying to share with Boomer. We'll get around that one somehow.
And if I could get them to sit still long enough to bring the camera into play, I would have pictures...
