We recently went out to a friends place and picked up these two very cute little sister kitties :)
I think we've decided on naming them Fluff and Daisy. Daisy is the short haired sister that L is holding in the picture below. The kids love them and you can often see J3 packing Daisy around. He is super gentle and she just lets him pack her around. Fluff is a bit wilder but is taming down nicely. J can catch her now and I've heard her purr. They came from a farm with lots of big dogs and after the first little introductory spat they are getting along great with Chip.
The kittens first day was spent hiding in the engine compartment of the Travelall! So we lured them out with a bit of milk. That night when Papa got home he opened the hood and fished them out and put them in a animal case over night so he could take the truck to work the next day. The second day they spent under the house but by evening they were playing on the front steps and exploring the whole area around the house. They did not like chickens and they are still scared of them. Our other two cats Midnight and Hunter, both males, seem to have adjusted nicely to the kittens. Hunter has already accepted Midnight so we didn't expect him to have any problems. Midnight was TERRIFIED of them for the 1st day and would run away at the sight of them. By the second day he was just curious but didn't want to get too close, just in case! A few days later and they are all best friends. Midnight washes the kittens and snuggles with them and generally seems to be parenting them.
I never seem to have my camera handy when I see J3 packing a kitten but I WILL get a picture of it yet :)
This picture was taken 2 seconds after I saw these little cuties spooning... Fluff was still a little wilder then she is now and wasn't too sure about my stopping to take a picture!
