We finally took a big step in our family and adopted two kittens. Miranda was beyond thrilled Christmas morning to learn that she could go to the shelter and pick up one or two kittens when we returned to Oregon. After two days of searching everywhere for available kittens (it seems that they were all adopted for Christmas), we finally got two last Wednesday. We got a brother and sister that are about 4 months old. They are very friendly- almost to a fault- and want to be with us all the time.
The kids thoroughly abuse them by throwing blankets on them and trying to trap them in baskets, but so far they haven't retaliated. Kara even hits them, and they either just take it, or eventually run away.
This is our girl, Penny. She is quiet and likes to lay down and be petted. She is playful at times, but hasn't done anything naughty yet. On the other hand, we have our crazy boy, Shadow with his insistent meow to be let in the house. He is always trying to beat you to whatever room you are going to by a few steps- hence, he has been accidentally kicked many times. He likes to get into cupboards and onto shelves if given the chance, and always checks out the sink to see if there is anything tasty in it. Unfortunatly, he also likes to poop on people's beds, so the cats are locked out of the bedrooms until this phase passes! They spend most of their time in the garage, with a few hours of the day in the house.
Larry says that they are like birds- they will climb onto your shoulders and get right up into your face when you pet them. I don't think they realize that they will be pet if they just sit in your lap. Miranda is in heaven to be able to come home from school and play with them. They seem to like us a lot, and they are fun to have around!
