The foster, Cheri, was fantastic, so helpful and knowledgeable. And she sent us home with food for several days and lots of their favorite toys!
We had a bit of a drive home and the little guys were silent in their carrier.
We had them spend their first couple of nights in the bathroom, as they adjusted to the big move. They were very good about everything - used the litter box (placed in the bathtub) perfectly, didn't start meowing early in the morning, etc.
They are so tiny! None of us have ever had kittens this small. I always had adult cats move in with us before Spencer and Seb, and they were 4 months when we got them. These two are a month younger and a good deal smaller.
By midday Monday, we moved them into Violet's room. They had fun exploring, racing around like crazy. They both purr easily and like cuddles, with Winston being a bit more of a lap cat than Evie.
He also is a maniac at wet-food feeding time, eating super loudly and growling if you get near him. He also insists on eating out of Evie's bowl, so they switch bowls throughout feeding times. It's pretty funny.
They are so cute together. Evie was born Sept. 14, and Winston was born around Sept. 25. I love getting a pair of kittens, so they have each other to roughhouse and be crazy with. We could just sit and watch them all day!
Relaxing with a kitty is pretty awesome. And a pair of kittens? Perfection.
So far, we've spent the first week with the kittens locked in a room, so that Seb can slowly get used to their presence. They make noise, so he's aware, and we've exchanged scented items like blankets so they can get used to each other's scent. Thankfully, he seems chill so far - no hissing at the door!
And this perhaps is the one time where Violet's odd window situation is a positive - the cats have all now seen each other through the window. Seb was staring, wide-eyed, the first day, but got used to seeing them.
