Introducing the New Girls! [Long]
I have kittens! As planned, I went to the adoption centre on Saturday
with a large carrier to liberate the girls from their perspex prison in the shop window. They'd been there three months, so it was high- time! I took a taxi home - about $40, but far better than carrying a wailing, wowling box of kitties on the subway! We arrived home, I opened the carrier, and both kittens - predictably - scuttled straight under the bed for a conference. I put some bowls of food and water just under the edge of the bed and left them to it. Naughty (working-title; must change their names as soon as they tell me what their real names are!) was the first to emerge about three hours later. She approached me very gingerly, but within five minutes we were locked in mortal combat with the Cat Dancer, and so the ice was broken. Kiki (working-title) remained under the bed. They both used the litterbox during the night. They also indulged in about half-an-hour's wrestling, a similar amount of stampeding like wildebeeste, and then Naughty (WT) stuck her nose into my eye-socket at about 5am to (a) see if I was dead and (b) if not, to arrange a room-service breakfast. Kiki (WT) really is the little-sister. This afternoon Naughty (WT) wandered out to use the litterbox. She made lots of noise digging, and I could imagine the dialogue when she went back to her lair: K: Ooooh, I need to go too... I'm busting! N: Well, off you go then. I left you some clean litter. K: But *he's* there! That hoomin! N: Oh, come *on* then... Because, sure enough, about two minutes later, Kiki (WT) appeared with Naughty (WT) escorting her, and Naughty (WT) sat and watched me the whole time her sister was using the litter box! Then she escorted her back to the safety of the underbed. This evening, Kiki (WT) is a little bolder. The girls have both been playing in the same room where I'm sat working. I think we're going to get along just fine! There *will* be photos - just as soon as things calm down a bit. Right now the girls are either in the depths of the netherbed, or else haring around at Mach 0.7 - neither are conducive to good pictures. Purrs! Al. |

I took a taxi home - about $40, but far better than carrying a wailing, wowling box of kitties on the subway! Tell me about it when we got Speedy Joe, Rusty the guy who was slave to his mother brought him from in a "pack-a-pet" and we met at Mile End station and got the bus from there. We had just sat down and the noise started. Now remember- this is our first foray into slave dom and I had never heard such a heart rending noise..or for that matter such a loud noise from such a small kitten! People on the bus started to stare- a kid asked me whether I was taking the cat in the box to be killed or something! When I collected the Fabulous Furballs I had to use publc transport as it would have cost a small fortune to get across town in a taxi and I was a bit skint (something to do with blowing a large chunk of that weeks wages on a cat carrier, bowls, water dishes. scratching posts and of course little mousies and a ton of other toys) and I was dreading a bus and tube ride with them. Needn't have worried- they spent the short bus ride looking out of the carrier. Two stops in the long journey on the tube they stopped moving and I thought "Oh my God! The shock must have killed them!" and found they'd settled themselves down as obviously the view on the tube wasn't that interesting so they might as well have a nap. a couple of stops later the train did that thing when it shakes and there's a screeching noise. Sarsi jumped up and Dunzi simply put one paw on her and gave her a quick lick- the first of many moments when I wished I had a camera handy! And I changed trains with two obviously tired kittens snoring in the carrier. They didn't wake up until I stopped at the station kiosk to get them some milk (I know about milk and cats but the lady who has their mother had been giving them that and not water so I wanted them to have a choice- in fact they drank a few sips of milk then seemed much happier to get on the water) then they looked around before settling down again- indeed they slept for an hour or so after they arrived. We thought we had been lucky to get such placid kittens...no trouble at all... We learnt we were wrong about 2 hours later! Congrats on the new cats! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

It sounds like you're all off to a good start. So what do Naughty (WT) and Kiki(WT) look like? Inquiring minds want to know! Looking forward to the pix. Melissa |
