Ralphie and Clive

Pandora emailed to introduce herself.  Recently, she and her husband said goodbye to a pair of lovely senior cats who passed away at the remarkable ages of 19 and 21 years.  Their hearts had healed a bit, and they decided they were ready to bring another kitten or two into their lives

When Pandora arrived for the meet-and-greet, Clive, Ralphie, and Graham had just finished napping and lunching  and were bouncing about the house.   At the speed they were moving, it was hard to get a sense of who these kittens were, so  Pandora asked lots of questions about the personalities of each kitten.   Once they slowed down a bit, and she could take a closer look,  she picked her kittens, Ralphie and Clive.

They do make a nice pair.  Once is slightly spunkier, one is slightly cuddlier.  Both are close in weight which makes wrestling matches more fair and more fun.  Most important of all, Ralphie wasn't getting adopted with the brother who was nibbling on his whiskers!

Pandora emailed to say that things are going great. The boys made themselves right at home, and are bringing plenty of joy to Pandora and her husband.

Happy, Happy, Holidays indeed!  It's clear those Loudermilks are loving their new life.

Thank you, Pandora, for adopting our sweet boys.

  4. Hooray for Ralphie and Clive and Pandora and Mr. Pandora! I'm glad they're staying together and that they're already well-loved.

  5. What a lovely adoption story! And you know these two will be well cared-for and loved if their predecessors lived to such wonderful senior ages! I do hope Pandora and Mr. Pandora are prepared for the liveliness of kittens, however; I know it's a big change to have lively little ones bouncing around. Hopefully they'll wear each other out and let the humans just enjoy their antics!

  6. So cute! I particularly love that photo of Ralphie in the top right of the collage Pandora sent. He looks like he couldn't get any more comfortable. Yay for happy stories!

  7. Lovely story! Now I'm thinking "Pandora" - "box" - "kitties". Hmmm... I think kitties are going to add a happy twist to the myth :)

  9. Ralphie's whiskers look a little longer, I'm glad! And that photo of him snuggled in Pandora's arms (?) just made me melt. Yay indeed for all the Loudermilk boys! And Yay for Laurie too for raising such happy gentlemen!

  11. A happy happy Christmas story. Happy Christmas to all!
    Anon has it -- upper right Ralphie is blissed out. Maybe because he can now grow long luxurious whiskers.

  14. They look absolutely miserable, Laurie. Not at all comfortable or settled in. ;D I'm glad they've established control over their humans so quickly.
