I'd like to introduce two new members of my little household.
Rosencrantz...

and Guildenstern...

They became part of my family on Sunday from the RSPCA rescue centre after their stray cat mother gave birth to them in a foster home. Only 9 weeks old, they were understandably nervous at first, but have already become quite the little characters, keen for both play and cuddles. I've wanted to get cats for years, and now that I am well and truly shore-based and have a house of my own, it felt like the right time. Luckily I've been able to provide some homeless kittens with all the shelter, food and love they will need, and forsee many happy kitty years ahead! They've already shown a great interest in my bookshelves and will hopefully live up to their comedic namesakes.

I'll keep you updated on kitten antics, but for now, from me, Rose and Gilly...we bid you a good night.
