Should we take these cats?

[Poledra]

DH and I have been thinking about getting a cat for a while now (I've mused upon it on this very board ). Now, a friend of a friend is emigrating, and needs to find a home for her two cats. They're neutered toms, about 10 years old, brothers and currently in good health. They are living with children, so our 3 DCs shouldn't be too much of a shock for them. The only thing I'm wondering is if the cats are too old to rehome? I wanted adult cats, but also don't want to get cats that will shuffle off this mortal coil too soon!
Thanks for your help.

I think cats protection advise 4 weeks inside a new home. They can look out of the window to learn the layout of the street.

You must be so pleased.

Great that it's working out so far, Poledra.

Great to hear that the cats are already starting to make friends with your family and it doesn't sound like they're at all stressed out at the change (well, apart from wanting to go out). I seem to recall my cat's rescue charity suggesting three weeks indoors.
