Greetings, Fine Felines and Hoomans of Blurtlandia and associated communities!

I can't believe it has been so long since the last time I made a Caturday post here on Blurt, but it seemed like a good thing to start doing again because we have adopted two new cats since the last time I posted!

Our new kitties: Shangri (top) and Nala (bottom)

The local animal shelter were having an "adopt two for the price of one" adoption drive about six weeks ago, so we decided it was time to bring some new life into the house.

Thankfully, everyone gets along quite well, and there have been no skirmishes and "territorial disputes," even at mealtimes.

Both kittens are remarkably sweet natured, in spite of having had a somewhat rough start in life.

Shangri is the boy kitty... we think he's going to be a BIG cat!

Shangri and Nala were the last two from a litter of nine kittens that were found in a box by the animal shelter's front gate one morning, by the first employee to show up.

By the time we adopted them, they were a little over four months old and had spent about six weeks in the noisy front room of the shelter.

Nala is the little girl kitty... she is still quite shy

We decided to adopt both of them together because they seemed quite bonded, and that way they would have each other's company in their new home.

After a few weeks of being extremely skittish and shy — almost like they were feral — they have become very trusting and both are remarkably sweet natured!

They have now been with us for a little over five weeks, and we all agree that we have pretty much hit the "cat lottery," and we get the sense that they have hit the "Hooman lottery" as well!

Even elderly Smudge — who's not far off her 20th birthday — is tolerating them quite well, albeit in somewhat limited times. She has her own room we can keep the kittens out of, if Smudge gets overwhelmed and needs to rest.

Well, that's the Caturday update for today... and I am sincerely hoping to resume posting regularly! Until then, thanks for checking out our little cat blog... and we hope to see you again!
