Show us your pets!

Ee-gads. I've entered the kitty world. After 18 years of vegan pets, we now have carnivores in the house (other than us), complete with their sharp little teeth, crazy wrestling, and (pew!) stinky poops!

This past Monday, DH and I brought home two kittens from BIL/SIL's house up in NY. They had taken in a feral cat, who had 4 kittens in their den. We took 2. Still not 100% sure of the genders - we think the black is male and the grey is female, but I'm wondering if we got that backwards or if they're both female. A trip to the vet is in the plans but we're letting them settle in for now - which they seem to be doing with gusto. After one evening of hiding behind the dining room hutch (the room has been converted into kitty kindergarten for the time being, and they've adopted the back of the hutch as their favorite hidey-spot, much to our chagrin), they have become more bold and less skittish. Our neighbor's minivan with the loud muffler still startles them, but they are bolting less frequently to our walking around.

Tentative names are: black one = Paris (as in the Trojan prince), and the grey one is Zoe. They are really enjoying their jungle gym. They learned how to get on top of it last night - and constantly battle for the high ground in their ongoing wrestling matches.
