Woke up to mayhem this morning. The two of them playing together perfectly! Beautiful kittenish fun/chaos and both of them giving as good as they get..!
So it looks like they have adjusted together but do I leave them like this or separate them when I go to work. I had thought I'd watch how they got on all day tomorrow and then decide but...?

So cute! I love the tabby one's cheeky smile.

Oh yes, and she is cheeky and an escapologist of the first order. Plus fast, very fast.

I've kept them apart - For one more day. There was one brief point last night when Kitten-1 was getting tired and was a little bit gnarly towards the little one. After this morning's joy, hopefully she'll be better adjusted by tomorrow or Sunday and I can leave them unsupervised together.
Kitten-2 was fairly crying with indignation when I shut her out from her pal and left though.
She's has plenty to keep her amused, incl toys, her own bed, litter tray and a cat tunnel, plus the dry food auto-feeder and she had polished-off a dish of wet food before I left. So all the basics are catered for.
The other good thing is that she is happily going in and out of the big litter box without causing ructions and Kit-1 doesn't seem to mind her using her water dish or the dish of dry food I put-out to her beside her wet-food feeder, which she only eats a little from. So that looks good for them sharing together - and means I can get rid of the litter tray in the hall!

More fun from this morning:
Getting one of each was definitely the right move. What did you call them in the end?

I keep coming back to this:
Except, I'd probably spell it the Gaelic way - Diùra
Which would make Scarba the obvious choice for Kit-2 but spelled properly - Sgarba..?

It's all good, man
More fun from this morning:
See that one climbing up the rope pole... That rope pole is soon going to be your leg. It's cute at first but wait 'til the kitten gets heavier

In that case, it will be starting its "flying lessons" soon...!
Beautiful colour...
And those eyes are so lovely.

She's more black - the colour is more her black fur playing merry-hell with my phone's auto white balance!

So I registered with cat charity #2 who said cat charity #1 were being ridiculous about the not allowing me a male cat thing. I just have to do a walkthrough video of the house and garden.
Shit's getting real. Basically I have to decide what I'm asking for.

Is it under some weird notion that female cat don't have a territory to patrol?
Did you ever see the documentary about the research in Weimar the looked at where house cats go when they roam?

Our further-down-the-road neighbour's lovely ragdoll, who would wander all the way up the road to our end, was run over and killed a few days ago. Everyone on street whatsapp is gutted.
A very beautiful but not very bright cat.
I am glad Vastra does not venture out front much, as it's quite a risky street for a cat to cross, with cars parked up either side,

Sonic: 1 Nov 2006 - 8 Jan 2022
Woke up to this:
That is dominance behaviour from the fluffy black one!
Frantic grooming like that is "I'm the adult and you're the infant" type message.
The wee stripy one accepted it without fuss, so that's great - they will have different areas and situations where one is dominant over the other, and the fact they are sorting out their standing with one another and not scrapping over that sort of dominance display is really good
If it were me, I'd still consider keeping them separate when unsupervised if there is a big size difference - when I got Sonic, Radar was 6 months older and I caught him trying to shove baby 15 week old Sonic behind the fridge - that resolved itself OK once Sonic was more equal in size and able to tell Radar to fuck off

There is only about ten days between them and although the black one is bigger, I think her fluffy coat makes the difference more marked. Sgarba has a very short/sleek coat. When the little one has had enough, she does tend to come and snuggle up beside me, whilst Diùra either snuggles behind my knees or retreats to the top of the cat tree.
They had been having a wild and happy play fight for some time before.
I'm off for the next four days now, so able to keep a better eye on their interaction.

heckling from the back!
Bella and Beauty [dog & triped cat] have been interacting a little more as Bella gains her confidence.
However, yesterday morning could have got very interesting when Bella decided to sit in Beauty's night bed, and not just once, either !
Must keep the camera handy, as I've missed the action.
Beauty gave her a death stare but no other reaction ... I think she still misses the cuddles she could give her "uncle" Ben de-Dog and the washes she sometimes got in return.

The face at the window. He only went out through the cat flap 30 seconds ago!
