New Family Members of the Feline Variety

Well, of course Sheeba can never be replaced. We still miss her black, soft, silky affection. But this is not a place where we are prepared to live without a cat. When Sheeba went missing, we were already in the midst of looking for another outdoor cat to help Tigger with the incredible rodent population. We ended up getting a grey female kitten from the same farm we got Tigger - although no relation to Tigger - guarnateed to be a mouser. She is Andrew's kitten and her name is Delila. Or DillyDilly.

Then a week after that, we went to the SPCA (where we got Sheeba) in search of another black kitten or young cat. There was a huge litter of 10 black kittens. Rhiannon picked out the blackest one. She has a sweet scrunched up face. Rhiannon named her Coppelia (and no, that wasn't my idea... I wanted to name her Brita) We've had them for a couple of weeks now. They were both 8 weeks old when we got them.

So, here they are...


This is Coppelia




















Here they are wrapped up together on Kaetlyn's bed...













And here is Delila - doesn't she look like a lean, mean mouse-killing machine here? If I was a mouse, I'd be afraid...
