New kitties [View all]

My beloved Zaphod passed away suddenly in January at age 13 1/2 leaving his sister Trillian an only cat. We decided being a single cat household was not acceptable to today we adopted Autumn and Winter. They are 9 months old but were found as 6 month old kittens so they are really skittish. Autumn will let me pick her up but Winter is mostly to scared to let me come near her (I've managed to pet her a few times and she loves it but it is hard to get close).
