Kitten Update

We've had these kittens - Mina and Monty - for just over three months. Despite a few unfortunate incidents (more on those later), they have settled in nicely and made themselves a part of our home.

Monty has become the house love-bug. If we're sitting on the couch watching TV, he walks up on our chests, giving us a head-bump or slide-by with his face. Mina is only a little less personable: she loves to play, and will bring us a toy to throw when she wants some action.

Since they're only 9 months old, they still love to play, and have TONS of energy. They chase each other back and forth, sounding like a herd of elephants rampaging through the house. Luckily, they mostly do this during the day and evening, and for the most part have been kind enough to not wake us in the middle of the night with their antics. They are growing fast, and are substantially larger and heavier then when we first brought them home. Monty continues to be the more moderate eater: Mina, who we suspect was the runt of the litter, is always desperate for food, and dives right in whenever fresh food is added to their bowls. Both seem to be tempering their appetites as they grow older: the last couple of weeks has seen them not eat every scrap of dry food for hours at a time.
