Well, we found our kittens on Saturday! We attended an adoption fair where Joel, the family “cat person”, was expected to fall in love with some cat or other which we would then claim. Surprisingly, Joel did not fall in love with a cat… I did. 🙂 She’s beautiful, and her sister is quite nice (Joel likes her sister better, so this should work out just fine). Their current names are Dixie and Lulu, but that’s going to change. Joel suggested calling them Fuzz Butt and Clown Face (Dixie has a bushy tail and Lulu has white and gray markings on her face), but I’m pretty sure he was joking. 🙂
Anyway, they’re both quite adorable kittens, so image my chagrine when the rescue worker mentions that, at 6 months old, they’re considered kitty teenagers! They’re apparently going to be going through some typical teen rebellion/insecurities about now and we shouldn’t worry about it… it’s not us. Hm. Right. I’m not sure how I’ll know the difference since the only cat I’ve ever owned was adopted by us when she was more than 4 years old.
Oh well. I’m sure we’ll make it through, and we’ll have two pretty kitties to keep us company for many years to come. Now to think of good names…. Any suggestions?

I think your kittens are BEAUTIFUL! Lulu and Dixie don’t suit them much…I’ve always wanted to get “twin” kittens and call them something like Thelma and Louise or Lucy and Ethel…Good luck naming them! I’ll watch for updates.

How about your twin names — Cassie and Callie? The longer version of your names are too long for the cats. 🙂

What’s wrong with Cassiopeia and Calliope? 😉 I don’t know, Mom… if I use them on the cats, I won’t be able to use them if I ever have twin girls! Hm… that couldn’t be why you suggested that, could it? 😉
