We lost one of our 16 year old cats in February and his sister in May. We were heartbroken. Then these two came along as if sent from Heaven. We didn't intend on getting more cats so soon (literally a week or two after our girl died) but we knew our house was empty without animals. Lady found them in her barn along with Momma and two more kittens. She literally captured the babies the day we showed up to look at them. She was keeping them in a crab pot. 
It took a few weeks for them to get used to us and stop running and hissing at us. I am their favorite by far (much to the displeasure of my husband who is the real cat lover in the family).
I was told by others that they might have some Bengal in them due to the spots. I saw Momma and she was grey with black spots. One of the parents must have some calico in them because Gracie and one of her sisters seem to look like calicos too. Boone is the lovebug and Gracie is the troublemaker. I have always touted myself as a dog person but I think these two have converted me to the "cat side". We've had them since May 27th and I've bought tons of toys and two cat trees already!
They are scheduled for spay/neuter on 8/5. I wanted them done with their baby shots first. I will no doubt be a nervous wreck until they are safely back with me.

Thanks for introducing us to Boone and Gracie and giving them a forever home. They are precious and, of course, the female is the troublemaker. lol. 
Although I've also had dogs we've never been without a cat since we've been married. There's just something about the nature of cats that makes a house a home. 
But because it wasn't attached, no blood. Vet said there was no way to fix it so we had to put her down.
but are glad that you've found Boone and Gracie and they are gorgeous! 
Boone and Gracie are gorgeous. 
Can't say I am completely on the cat side. We will have to see if things continue where Mommy is their favorite. If I become "the one they tolerate" like it was with my other two, I won't be so pro-cat anymore.
