Buster and Ororo

Steve and I brought home two kittens last Saturday, courtesy of the Delaware Humane Association. They are Buster and Ororo, a boy and girl from the same litter that a woman had been fostering.

Buster is a little gray boy. He's named after Buster Bluth from Arrested Development. He's a little lovebug and loves to sit and get his tummy rubbed. Ororo is a pretty black kitty. We named her for the real name of Storm of the X-Men (I'm kind of alternately calling her Aurora because everybody will spell her name that way anyway). She is a pistol and loves to run around and get into mischief.

They are doing pretty well and have already started exploring the house. We weren't expecting to take home two kittens but the people from the DHA said it might be a good idea to have two so if Cerys can't keep up with their energy, they can play with each other. It's funny how pint-size Cerys looks bigger next to them. As tiny as the kittens are, their paperwork says they're still twice as big as she was at the same age so they will probably end up being bigger than their big sister.

Cerys is doing a lot of hissing at Ororo and Buster, establishing to them that she's the queen. I'm hoping she'll come around. We wanted new cats (once we moved so we wouldn't have to move more than one) since she seems a little lonely and bored since Jarvis died. She has a playful nature and we wanted her to have friends, especially for when we're not home.

Of course, the new kitties are for us, too. I know I've had a Jarvis-sized void on my lap so I'm excited to have more life and lap cats in the house. This will be an adventure.
