We've finally decided on the second kitten, and revealed the names of the cats we chose:
On the left: Sam, on the right: Ben
They like each other already...

The cat-caravan
As befits all proper upcoming parents, we've started purchasing stuff already. Today we started with the big stuff. First, the little beasties need to be brought to our house, and quite possibly at some time in their lives make a trip to the vet (if only to have their balls cut off). So we got ourselves a cat carrier. Nothing fancy, but we like the colour. Other possible uses might suggest themselves at a later time.
The curtain saviour (hopefully)
Also, in a most likely pointless attempt to prolong the life of our curtains, couch, bed and everything else in the house, we've bought something the little ones can be allowed to set their nails on. Again, nothing fancy (and you'd be amazed at how fancy these things can get. Wide-screen TVs are only the start of it), but practical, not so big as to give the couch an inferiority complex, and quite reasonably prized too.
Big pile of fur

We went to see the litter and snapped some pictures. We've decided on one of the two, and are still trying to choose the second.
There's four of 'em, really
"This'll fit if we try hard enough..."
We've decided on the left-most one, and are choosing between the two in the middle
We're having kids cats!
August 26th, 2008
One of my sister's cats gave birth to four kittens. By then F. and I had decided we wanted part of the cute-cake and were going to take two of them in once they were old enough to leave the nest.
I'll periodically post some pictures or notes on their progress through the world and our curtains.
