We met a lot of kitties, and would have liked to take a whole bunch of them home. In the end, though, we decided on two three-month-old kittens, a boy and a girl in complementary white-and-black and black-and-white. Stay tuned for names.
Personalities are already emerging. The little boy kitty is fast as greased lightning, and very fond of meeting people. The girl kitty is slightly larger, and more reserved. Seems a bit, well, bossy. We figure she'll be running the place inside of six months -- including the dog.
Sassy is intensely interested, but didn't bark or snap at them at all. The girl kitty hissed a bit, but both are slowly learning their new home and cautiously figuring out this big doggy sister they've been gifted with. Sassy is almost puppyish in her desire to play, I think.
And we are suddenly aware of how much this house needs to be cat-proofed. Oh, man, as if I didn't have enough to do, every room'll have to be swept and put in order to remove things that can be knocked over, choked on, torn up . . .
But we are very pleased. I'll let you know names as soon as they're finalized.
