Introducing Tiger and Lucy

Yesterday, JT and I set off to bring two kittens to our home. It was an exciting adventure. The intrepid E joined us (and had enough self-discipline to avoid adopting every stray in the place....though Wilbur the pig caught her eye).

Lucy (on the right in the photo with JT) took a nerve-wracking turn in the basement when we first got home yesterday, so the catlets are staying in the study for now. Lucy likes to hide behind the bookshelves. Her brother Tiger is braver, staking out the eliptical trainer for himself and boldly taking a turn in the living room. And Tiger happily smiled for the camera with his new boy. Lucy fears the paparazzi.

JT picked out Tiger and I picked out Lucy. They are brother and sister (twins, as JT points out) and they have added some real excitement to my boy's world. He went to bed last night talking about our kittens and he was up early this morning to check on them. He suggested that we skip school today to look after them (selfless, that boy). It's nice to see him so excited and so pleased to be in charge of the kittens, checking on their food and water and worrying that they will be lonely without us.

It's a most happy thing to have Tiger and Lucy in our world.
