Kittens!
Look! Kittens! We have new kittens! :D
Towards the end of last year we decided that once the building work on our house was all finished we would get a new kitten. (It's been about four years since our dearly beloved, incredibly beautiful and phenomenally grumpy old cat passed away.) We had hoped to get two new kittens before Christmas so we could settle them in while we were all on leave but alas it wasn't to be. However on Tuesday this week, a family that I had contacted previously got back in touch to say that two of their litter were still available, so we went to get them right away. They're both eight weeks old and completely adorable. This picture is a bit misleading as the little tortoiseshell girl is much smaller than the fluffy black and white male. When you see them togehter it's hard to believe they're from the same litter. They also have quite different personalities, the girl is very cautious and hates being picked up, while the boy is much more laid back. Picking names of them has been something of a dilema. We did think about Horatio or Ned for the boy, but he doesn't really have the right personality. Daughter either wants to call him Murdo (!!!) or Ludo after the character in Labyrinth :} The girl is Niko, named after Glasgow Warrior's Fijian scrum half Niko Matawalu as they are both small, fast, unpredictable and very hard to catch XD
