The new kittens are here, and I’ve already dragged out the camera.
They are ridiculously cute. They hated the car ride back home across Durham, and not even gentle Antarctica could soothe the savage beasts, but now they are purring and playful and sleepy and not trying to remove The Boyf’s hands.
UPDATE: I posted more pictures, just FYI, in that same gallery.
How fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes indeed will meet them on Saturday oh yeah.
Another FYI – apparently if your cats get all weirded out about car rides etc Andy’s vet in NOLA told her to put her kitty (14 years old!) in a pillowcase. Instant sensory deprivation and quiet kitty. This is how she shuffled Calliope across the southeast after Katrina.
I want one! I’ve never owned a kitten or cat before. I’ll be good to it, I promise.
They are too effing cute! Do they have names yet?
AG: you should get a mama cat who’s had a litter or two and then been fixed. Say, three years old? They are a little more “settled” and independent and easier to care for, and to some degree they will think they are supposed to take care of you. They are awesome!
