Welcome Lucy and Ned!

We have two new additions to our family, Lucy (white bib) and Ned, eight-week old kittens. :)

When Mog died we didn't want to get another cat - she was too perfect and we knew it would be difficult to find anyone to fill her paws! But over the summer a friend's cat had kittens and we ummed and ahhed about whether to get one. We thought so long about it that they all got taken.

Anyway, we decided that we missed having a pet, so when a friend told us her neighbour had a litter of kittens needing homes, we jumped at the chance to take one in. I went round and chose Lucy - she was very inquisitive and happy to be handled and seemed perfect. The next time I called round to check how she was doing, one of the other kittens who they thought they'd homed, Ned, was 'back on the market'. After a little more umming and ahhing we decided that two was better than one - less likely to be bored and lonely and they help each other groom, etc. so here we are.

So far they are a little nervous and spent most of the day behind the kitchen cupboards - Steve eventually prised the front off to get them out! I think Beth's a little disappointed that she hasn't managed to have a proper hold as they're just too jumpy. Hopefully by the end of the weekend she might be a little happier!
