Cats!

As the one year anniversary of cat-less-ness approached (I know, not really a word, but you know what I mean)  we realized we were just missing cats.  Though really, it may have been that we were missing Mom and Dad and Kona, but getting them to move to Napa is a bit more complicated that a visit to the shelter.  

So here they are:  Leibniz Drazella also known as Cat One or even KC (for Kitty Cat) - she's the grey one.  

And her sister Artemis Archimedes Bastet, also known as Cat Two or DC (for her poor choices regarding her bathroom habits - like using the leather chair in our bedroom, or even worse, using it while Patrick is sitting in it).

These are from the day they first came home in late September. Honestly, I don't know how anyone has kittens without three young boys to wear them out each day - they are crazy!

But they're also incredibly cute.  And they start purring at maximum volume at the simplest of attention - or at times just because they notice you exist. 

Leibniz learned to climb the tree fairly quickly.  Her sister only made it half way up until last weekend when Kona came to visit  and she had some serious motivation!
