The kittens are coming on lovely and now come running to me. They have quietened down a lot but are still rather boisterous. My legs look like I have gone for a stroll through a load of barbed wire and my hands and arms aren't much better although they are hanging off me less and less with each passing day. We had a particularly nice moment yesterday which almost brought me to tears. I was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine when Oscar jumped up, cuddled into the side of my legs and went to sleep. When Cleo couldn't find him she also jumped up, gave his ears a clean (they really like to get right in) and then stomped all over my mag before walking around in a circle and crashing out on my lap (guess I wasn't going to get to finish my magazine then). Oscar saw her cuddled up and got between me and her (he gets very jealous at times) and also went to sleep. I knew when we took them on that I would have my work cut out due to them having hardly any human interaction because the people I got them from didn't want to get attached but I never though that they would come around this quickly. They really are very affectionate kittens, they even purr when they are cleaning each other. They have their second jab on Monday so it will be interesting to see how much weight they have put on, especially Oscar as he seems much bigger than Cleo now although I can't be sure some of that isn't down to his more solid markings.
We haven't made any progress at all with getting Abby to accept them and I am at a loss as what to try next. If she is outside they get the run of the house so when she comes in she smells their scent straight away and starts growling and hissing. She has had a couple of swipes at Oscar who seems to be fearless but she has not really gone for him or Cleo. The wife says let them get on with it but I can't do that as they may get hurt so at the moment wherever they go, I go as well. Hopefully this will eventually run it course and order will be restored but there is no signs of this happening anytime soon. I can't understand it as she wasn't like this when we took Garfield on unless it's something to do with her being the only cat since we lost Garfield and then Jade and it was just her since September last year.
In work and keep blubbing. Awful....
