KITTIES!

[nonelvis]

columbina and I have been catless since Mr. Peterson died in January, but not anymore:



These are Ebony and Noir, two one-year-old sisters we got from SPIN, a no-kill shelter in Natick, MA. Ebony's the one with the splotch; Noir is the one with the round-eyed stare of OMG WHAT IS COMING TO KILL ME?!?! This is their Petfinder photo, only because they're busy acclimatizing to their new home in the way of all cats: quietly flipping out underneath a pile of scrapwood in the basement. Once they've settled in, I'll have more photos.

Yow! I seem to recall hearing that you're supposed to confine them in a single room or two until they adjust to new surroundings. No? It's been an awfully long time since I had a cat, so memory may not necessarily serve... A cat bite! That's scary! How the heck does a cat get on the ceiling?

You can confine them at first, but you don't have to. (And the way our house is set up would make it hard to do that.)

The hole in the ceiling is about a foot above the oil tank. Ebony took a flying leap on top of the tank and then into the hole.
