It's a snowy Friday and I'm procrastinating at work...so here is the low down (long and drawn out
) on our 2 new furry friends and how they came into our lives...
Our cat Korny (named for Pekornyia...the road she was found on) was 7 and passed away from heart issues in August. Being our first pet, my girlfriend and I took Korny's death very hard....but after 4 months decided it was way too lonely at home without a furry friend in our lives.
On December 10th we headed to a local shelter that my friend works at to meet 2 young kitties who were in need of homes. The 2 cats had never met or played together before, so it was a first for us and for them. Upon meeting the 2 cats we immediately melted, they were both so sweet and got along really well. Obviously, we knew we really couldn't judge how the 2 cats were going to interact based on one 5 minute visit, so we went back on 2 more occasions to play with the cats and let them get familiar with one another.
On December 28th Sonja and Walli came home with us for good. Walli was a real shy guy and very jumpy, but Sonja strolled right our her crate and got to exploring. Walli eventually eased up a bunch and made his way down to the living room with the rest of us.
It's been almost 2 weeks and everything is going well. We're so thrilled with our new furry friends...couldn't of asked for better kitties!
