On Saturday June 27, all five of us went to the Bellevue Animal Shelter to pick out two new kittens. We had several to choose from, and went in a back room to interact with them to decide which ones to take. It was a difficult decision, but we took home a solid black male and a spotted black female. We named the black one Wilson. No one knows why, other than several people in the family liked the name. The spotted one was named Talkeetna, after the name of a town in Alaska we visited (which also has a cat for its mayor). We call her "Keetna" for short.
Since they've been home, they've had lots of fun running around and playing with each other, as well as the assortment of new cat toys which are appearing around the house daily. Keetna has found a hidden cabinet in the kitchen we didn't know existed, and Wilson has created a hidden cache of toys - he carries some away to behind the bookcase.
We've taken a few pictures...
