Kitten brothers, Harley and Riley.

Naming them was easy. S. had picked out the name Harley for the black cat as we were driving to pick them up, and to our surprise when we signed the paperwork at the shelter… guess what the black kitten’s name was? Harley.

We had no idea they even had names! So we considered it a good sign to just keep the names they were given by the shelter staff.

They are about 3 1/2 -4 months old, so very cute, and taking to their new home really well. The best part is they both like to snuggle. They’ve shown a great temperament so far. And they love David.

Right now, they are sequestered in our finished basement. This weekend, we’ll let them get used to the first floor, and eventually the upstairs.

I wish I had a picture to show you… it seems Harley has taken to playing David’s toy piano. Cracks us up. It’s as if he really knows what he’s doing.

This weekend is their first vet appointment. They are already caught up on shots, and both are negative for the dangerous cat diseases, so hopefully that’s a good start. After losing THREE pets last year, I am extremely nervous about losing any more.

It feels nice to have pets again!
