Kittens Settling In

Hi there all. Not much has really been going on here. The kittens have settled in nicely and are total sweethearts. They spend quite a lot of time jumping on each other's heads and chasing one another around the apartment, then Sammy collapses in a puddle of orange and white fur in one of our laps and Hugo curls up in a ball nearby.

The only real excitement was that our cat tree arrived on Tuesday, and they both seem to love it. Yesterday we went out and bought a cat carrier for them in case there is a fire alarm (which there hadn't been in a long time), and at 5am the alarm went off, so it was very good timing. Needless to say, neither of them were very happy with the alarm in the hallway. But they are very good in carriers since they have spent a lot of time in them going to adoption fairs in the past. So we stood outside at 5am in the cold until the fire department decided to let us back in. It was a very nice way to start the morning.

Additions to the Family

Well, it has been ages since I put anything up here, but the hope now is to use it to post some pictures of life out here, and to start that, here are some pictures of the newest additions to our family out here... Sammy and Hugo. Sammy is orange and white and Hugo is a dark, smoky Maine Coon mix, though it is expected that his colors will change, as the smokiness has been increasing over the last month. They are both about 5 months old and sweet as can be. We adopted them from a local rescue organization that gets them from local high-kill shelters.
