Day 4 with the new kittens

Sunday, July 4, 2010

Last night after our older cat and our son went off to bed, we opened the door for the new kittens to explore the rest of the house. They never made it out of the bedroom. They were too busy playing with each other. The two of them are a kick together. Katie is small, slim little thing, but she can jump high and is in full attack mode when she is around Rio. They spent about hours and a half hours chasing each other around the room, jumping on each other in surprise attack and racing to see who can be faster.

These two could be natural acrabats, the way the tumble and jump all over each other. Very cute.

They tuckered each other out and by the time I was ready for bed they were both out and curled up together on the bathroom floor.

At 6 a.m. the little girl was up and crunching her dry food, but other than making the rounds she got bored and went back to sleep. Especially since Rio didn't seem to be interested in getting up at all. A few hours later I got up and Katie came running along with Rio and they were at it again chasing each other around.

After everyone was up and moving around the house we opened our door and let the kittens come out of the bedroom with the big cat in the living room. Our 9 year old, Eevee, wasn't so sure what to make of the kittens, but at least there wasn't any hissing today. He did make a few grumbles and growls, but the kittens stayed away from his space so he was fine with that.

Rio, our male kitten, watched Eevee very carefully, especially when Katie was anywhere near Eevee. We're hoping to get them together again later tonight and see what happens.

We went out for a couple of hours this afternoon so we put them back into the bedroom and let them play in there safe from the big cat.
