Newest members of the Murkworks household!
Oct. 5th, 2007 08:48 pmThis afternoon our friend Sadie, the in we have at one of the local animal shelters, gave
spazzkat a call to report that they'd gotten in a set of three orange male tabby kittens, and did we want to come take a look at them? "Boy, do we!" we said, and we zoomed over there this evening to take a look at them.
There was another family looking at the third of the set, but Sadie had set aside the ones she thought were the cutest: a stripey orange fellow with white paws, and his buff-colored brother. Apparently their previous names were Mr. Stripes and Dusty. But we, presented with two orange tabby brothers, pretty much had to call them Fred and George. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, this means we have two new fuzzy additions to the household!
Feast your eyes on the kitten goodness:
That's FRO-derick Franken-steen
I wish my brother George were here!
When we got them home, both kittens pretty much set out on a quest to explore what portions of the house we're allowing them in right now--though this also meant that we found out they fit behind the washer and dryer (where George ventured until we coaxed him back out) and behind the entertainment center (where Fred was hell-bent on exploring). After a while George curled up with
solarbird on the couch, all tuckered out from that big adventure of coming to a brand new place. He was quite fascinated by Dara's laptop, though, and kept trying to poke at the keyboard with his wee paw. Fred kept up with the zooming around the house for a bit: LOOKIT THAT LOOKIT THAT OOH WHAT'S THIS AND DO I FIT BACK HERE ZOOM!
As of this writing they're both curled up by Dara, between her and the couch cushion, since it's all snuggly and warm. The house has cats again. Life is pretty good. <3
