OMG KITTIES

[felis_lupus]

KITTIES!! We can has!! We have an official closing date of February 25th on our new house (EEEEeeeeEEEE!), and true to form, I jumped ahead a few months and decided to check the HART website last Monday night, "just to see who was there", and on page four, out jumped Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad. I thought they were very pretty, so I sent the link along to kurlon. He liked them too. Aw. Cool.

So he went to see them Tuesday. Without me. Sigh. But in meeting the boys, learned that they'd come from a neglectful home, had to have some dental work done, both still very skinny, but absolutely sweet and loving. Neither one has so much as hissed at anybody.

We both went to see them today. Love at first sight, really... Snuggled and petted and paid attention to them for nearly two hours, which went by VERY quickly. Galahad is still jumpy at noises and when people come into the room... The folks at the shelter will be moving them to a more private, quiet space, because now they are ours, for real, as soon as we can take them. Not sure if we'll keep the names... they work for the moment; they are both true gentlemen. Couple more photos here.


Lancelot - he has the biggest greeny yellow eyes, purrs nonstop, and soft as a bunny...


Galahad - shyer and more cautious for the moment, and once he fills out a bit, he'll be absolutely gorgeous.

Both are friendly, but still not comfortable in their current environment. That meant for Lance he wanted to stay in his safety basket, but he did put up with some lap time for a bit. Otherwise while he was in his basket he'd roll over, purr up a storm, and crane his head around for more chin rubs. Galahad actually was much more mobile, when it was quiet he'd happily roam around, snack, and then wander over and demand pettings. For some reason he got very twitch when ever he heard walking in the hallway or the door opened, immediate fight or flight response. We found we could keep him calmer and out in the open by talking to him and petting during those moments. I'm really looking forward to seeing them come out of their shells once they have a place to get comfy and settle.

I'm also looking forward to being pinned down by them and a big heavy quilt on the couch. : )
