Kitties!!!

[nokturnal23]

We adopted 2 new cats last week. We got them thru a rescue. They are 2 1/2 yeas old and both black. I was finding myself missing pets after 5 years of being cat less. The boys were asking and finally the hubby got on board. Of course I wanted 2 black cats who actually like each other and are well trained. Figured that wouldn't happen. But it turns out people generally do not want black cats, let alone 2 who are already adults. We lucked out. I can see why these 2 were in the rescue for so long. One is super outgoing and friendly while the other is super shy and skittish of people. We knew this when we went to meet them. They are a pair although not related. They get along with each other. I talked with the boys extensively about how we would have to be patient and talk calmly to the more shy one ( Shadow). After just one week, the outgoing one (Midnight) is out and about playing with the whole family. Shadow is even coming out and will hang in the room and play. She just doesn't want anyone to approach her directly. But still, way more social after 1 week than we expected. All in all, a great experience so far!
