Two Additions to the family

On Friday when Linda got to work (which is a farm), she found out that they had discovered three kittens in the barn. We're not sure about the back story at all - just that they seem to be human-friendly and that they are around 11-12 weeks old. Linda fell in love with them pretty much immediately, especially because they seemed so loving and cuddly.  The farm wouldn't be able to keep them, however, which meant taking them to a animal refuge center or finding a family to look after them. However, her plan was to take me to look at them on Sunday and see if we could look after them - temporarily to start with of course!

However on Saturday, there was a terrible accident. Some of the patients on the farm were getting into the company car to go on a trip. In a moment of bad timing, it seems that one of the kittens - the middle one of the three - got curious and started to get in the car, just as a patient was closing the door. The door slammed, with the cat's head in the middle. Linda immediately took the poor fella to the vets, but nothing could be done. He was obviously haemorrhaging and gurgling blood when breathing, so he was given a shot to put him to sleep.

Linda, obviously upset, made a decision. She phoned up, telling me that the remaining two cats are being dropped off at our house "and we'll argue about it when I get back from work tomorrow".

So, two lovely grey kittens arrived and, despite trying to fight it, I fell in love with them too. They were little angels - for a while at least until they woke up. And even then, being little devils, they were still just two little rascals instead of being completely uncontrollable.

My plan for Saturday was to stay in the living room for the rest of the day, looking after them and surfing around the internet on my laptop. That was, until the flood came. But that's another story.

Here's a quick video of the two little terrors...
