Kitties!

[kat_lair]

You guys, I’m in love. The kittens arrived on Thu night. And there were three of them. Now, don’t worry, I haven’t gone quite cat-lady-crazy yet; the third one was with us only temporarily and was picked up today by housemate B’s friend.

And then there were two. We have ended up with one boy (officially mine) and one girl (officially B’s) so the name decision is still up in the air. The personalities are already starting to show so we shall see… Girl is mostly calm and content to play and explore on her own. She also likes to pin her brother down and lick him from head to toe. Boy is a little goofy, will do naughty things (like scratching the walls) with wide-eyed innocence right until the moment you catch him by the scruff of his neck. He’s also a complete slut for getting his tummy rubbed. Both kittens enjoy chewing on wires (tv, dvd-player, setbox, laptop, modem, stereo… we have a lot of wires) and sleeping on top of the setbox (it’s warm… though I’m pretty sure there was something in the instructions about not blocking the air vents. Oh well.) Ugh, they are ridiculously adorable. *epic heart-pupils*

Zonked out on the sofa, on my grandma's old quilt. Girl on the left, Boy on the right.





And a close-up. Like little kitten angels when they're asleep.





Less angelic when awake. Girl here destroying the magazine rack. She's currently sporting my white hairband around her neck. We haven't gotten collars yet and as the kittens are very similar we needed a quick way of telling them apart without having to peer under their tails every time.





Boy scratching an itch. Notice the blue hairband around his neck. And the tiny paws. And the utter adorableness.






Mmmm, sandals. Girl up to no good, caught by the camera.





Is that Virgin technical support? My setbox has an extra feature that I didn't order... Even Kerrang! Radio doesn't keep the Girl awake. When it's naptiems, it's naptiems.






Boy pretending to be serious and noble. It's all a ruse





Because really he's right little ho, willing to spread his legs for all and sundry. This tummy, it wants to be ruuuuuuuuuuubbed, mummyyyyyyyyyy!!!





Mummy Kat complies.





:DDDD More photos as the weeks go by...

Oh I bet they are, I bet they are. But I also know myself, and I don't think I could handle cleaning litter boxes for the next twenty years. *G*

hee, well, we've had cats since I was about 10 so I'm used to it. It's been more difficult to be without a cat in the house for all these years, I miss our cats in Finland something fierce.
