The kittens are here!

This morning we drove two hours up to deepest Norfolk to collect Milo and Daisy and then two hours back again. They didn't make so much as a peep in the back of the car - in stark contrast to our cat Bagheera who will howl, pee, poop and puke every time you switch the engine on. We're keeping them confined to the kitchen whilst they settle in. The moment we opened the carrier Milo burst out, started exploring and playing with the scratching post activity centre thingy. Daisy kid in the carrier for the first hour before finally grudgingly coming out. He was bouncing off the walls whilst she was almost crawling round the room like a soldier doing a wriggle crawl on the floor. After my husband left to get food, she relaxed a bit and came out to explore and has been playing but she's managed to get behind the fridge-freezer and get herself covered in something sticky. Bagheera's nose is out of joint. He came into the kitchen, saw Milo, hissed and backed off. Little Milo bounced over to say hello only for Bagheera to flee the room. So this evening there will be a lot of fussing and making up to do with him. So far I'm feeling quite optimistic. Daisy will get more confident I'm sure and I very much hope Bagheera will come to appreciate that we bought him some playmates.
