Jaffa and Popcorn have been with us for, what, 3 or 4 weeks now and yet it seems like they've been here forever. From settling in so quickly to becoming best friends to learning all about the garden (and becoming blase about it) they're doing it all! Right now they're on the floor play-fighting (which maybe takes up a quarter of the day) rather than sleeping (twelve hours a day at least) or eating (an hour at least); such is the busy timetable for your average kitten.
The great part of all this though is that they've become truly the best of friends - inseparable playmates, dinner dates, companions in exploration and grooming consultants:
 |
| Who us? We didn't do it! |
 |
| There's something in your ear. No wait - it's your ear. |
What's also great is that they're both real people cats. From the moment that we rise in the morning they're under our feet looking for attention - if not clawing their way up our trouser leg. Popcorn likes nothing better than to snuggle up close, and fall asleep, little caring whether he's lying on your arm or your head or your neck; human concerns are not his problem. Jaffa also likes to get close but that's only so that he can sink his teeth into some exposed flesh or tickle you with his outstretched claws. Believe you me I no longer sleep with my feet hanging over the edge of the bed! Still we wouldn't be without the little darlings.
