Here's the lowdown from Emily:
We've named them Miles and Cordelia and they're settling in quite well. Miles spent Monday under the bed, as we figured he would. But yesterday he started coming out and letting us pet him and today he actually came up to me and started purring when I came in the room. He seems to enjoy laying on us, purring, and then licking our noses.
Cordelia is a spitfire. She plays, eats, and occasionally passes out for a few minutes and then gets up and plays some more. She thinks that batting at my hair is the best game ever. The two of them are getting along just fine and spend a lot of time chasing each other. It's incredibly adorable.
Our older cat, Cleo, is a bit perturbed but seems to be accepting things. We've still got the kittens confined to the guest room, but we'll probably let them start venturing out into the rest of the house tonight. We'll see how it goes.

SO much better than I'd have dared hoped! We knew this was the perfect family. We just didn't know how perfectly perfect they really are!
Thank you Emily and Ty for your kind and gentle hearts. Miles and Cordelia knew instantly that their new home is a place to feel safe and protected. Cleo will come around soon. I know it. She just needs to make sure the little ones know who is in charge.
This one's way up there on my list of favorite adoptions.

Yaaay for a perfect home and kitty updates and kittens that are happily settling in to their forever home!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that Mon...((ahem)) Miles is already discovering some confidence! Start researching how to harness Cordelia's energy, you might be able to sell it back to your utility company!
ReplyDeleteCleo will soon realize how lucky she is that there are TWO kittens that mostly play with each other...
Precious story!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story for those two floofy tabbies!!
ReplyDeleteSue, you raise a good point with calling it one of your favorite adoption stories. It would be a nice end-of-year retrospective to let us know about some of your other favorites!
Just a suggestion; do with it what you will. At any rate, Happy New Year!!
So cute, glad they're doing well. I like that their new names are Buffy related, but can't help preferring Monroe and Fisher to Miles and Cordelia.. still cute though! x
ReplyDeleteWhat happy wonderful news. xxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and Laurie for fostering these two and many thanks to Emily for sharing with all of us. I agree, this is a GOOD way to end the year!
ReplyDeleteThe planets lined up. Insert 'thumbs up' emoticon here.
ReplyDeleteA-ha! New Mom Emily is a Miles Vorkosigan fan! :) Glad these little sweeties have a new home.
ReplyDeleteThis kitty is a totally star and the pairing of Miles and Cordelia is a match made in heaven. So happy for all involved.

I am happy for the little ones. i would totally have kept their names though. Monroe and Fisher are way cooler!
