Percy and Princess

Please indulge me for a moment while I introduce our new kitties! We got them yesterday afternoon, and Madelyn is already deeply attached. She's been wanting a kitten since we lost our sweet Oliver two years ago, and somehow now seemed to be the right time.

These two are not siblings, but have been fostered together for a while, so they're quite close and it's really fun to watch them interact. Princess, the white spotted one, is nearly six months old but quite small for her age. She had been abandoned right after birth and was bottle fed after being rescued. Percy, the orange striped guy, is around 3 months old. They are the same size!

The animal rescue that we got them from doesn't have its own facility, but rather a group of foster families that care for the animals. Twice a month they bring the animals to a restaurant that offers them the use of a covered porch area to show the animals to prospective families. Mr. Wu took Seth and Madelyn and I to this restaurant, O'Malley's Irish Pub (isn't that a riot, in Shanghai?!), yesterday morning to look at the kitties. He had a hard time understanding that we were going to get cats from a restaurant!

Princess was really shy and skittish yesterday when we got her home... Madelyn was so pleased when we finally got Princess cuddled up on her lap.

Princess gives Percy a little lovin'.
Two are better than one!
Here's Percy, Mom, I found him!
