Day Two: Kitten Invasion!

The boys are settling right in around here, and have already claimed dominion over some choice perching positions. I suppose it is common for felis domesticus to exude an air of ownership over everything they touch.









Sam is still a little bit skittish at times. Mike thinks his eyes have a permanent look of concern about them.



Kitten action shot! Max is still the more playful of the two, but they both can get really into a good chase-and-tumble.



Our place is pretty wide-open in layout, but these guys are so small and sneaky that they are constantly able to appear as if out of thin air from behind and under furniture and around corners. Max in particular gave me a start this afternoon. We had all settled down for a siesta, but when I came back to the living room, only Sam was curled up under the hutch. I looked everywhere, and started to get a little worried that Max had gotten somewhere that he shouldn't and wound up stuck. A few minutes after calling Mike in to help with the search, I heard a muffled *thump* and then Max himself came out from below. Our suspicions were confirmed a short while later when he turned up missing again; he was napping on top of my placemats, having finagled himself through the gap at the rear and into the hutch's drawer.



I'm excited to see how else they manage to surprise us in the coming weeks!

We decided they can be in the office if supervised. They don't get to come into the bedroom.
