I have adopted two brothers from our local rescue. they arrived this afternoon, we lost one straight away but finally found him under the sofa. his brother is more out going and so far he has been on all window sills my dressing table and sideboard, he has only broken one ornament. The shyer one has decided that DD has a good lap and had plonked himself there. the crazy one has worn himself out and is asleep on my bed. They have been here a total of 3 hours Grin

I very nearly ended up with 3 but as a first time cat slave I thought 2 was enough.

Oh I love them. They've started early on the destruction I see 😹

Blu tack is much used in this house.

What to stick the cats to the wall? Isn't that classed as cruelty? Smile

Please say I'm not the only one say stupid shit like 'there are mittens on those kittens' to the pictures?

Show me a baby and I'm a bit 'meh'. Show me a puss cat and I'll chat to it for hours. Even just a picture.

Congratulations on your handsome adoptees and welcome to the mad house! Oh how I'd love to adopt 2 more cats but the DH says the 2 we have are enough. I think I may have to LTB.

Absolutely beautiful. I had 2 black and white brothers, Barnaby and Troy, after Midsomer Murders and they did cause murders.

Your puss on the chest of drawers has the same markings like Barnaby did only Barnaby had a startled expression which my sister said he looked as if someone had shoved their finger up his bum Grin. He was nicknamed Barmy Barnaby.

Gorgeous boys! I'd have gone for Fred and Astaire in honour of their tuxedo markings but Holmes and Watson is lovely too. They certainly look inquisitive enough for it!

At the moment they are playing chase up and down the stairs. they are about 3 years old. Watson was the shy one, but he is the boss and starts the madness, poor Holmes just wants to explore everything. Both used the litter tray so that is a really good start. What has surprised me is they don't like cat treats. it could be they are not used to them
