Meet the ultimate in mouse extermination





The kittens are Heathcliffe and Mr Darcy. They are both male despite the lurid pink kitten house. Some day they will grow into their names. Mr Darcy has s a white tip to his tail and loves kitten milk. Heathcliffe is all black (or rather charcoal with jet black stripes) and likes to climb. Basically they look alike except for the white tipped tail. Undoubtably the personalities will be very different.
The names are my daughter's choice as they are her big Christmas present.
Currently they are sleeping in her bedroom at night as we are not sure about how the puppies will react. Thus far the kittens have been willing to show claws to dogs' noses, particularly when the kittens are hanging off the top of the pyramid. They have also learnt how to climb up the sofa in my study.
It has snowed here and so we will be breaking out the sleds as the world is covered in white.

Lovely kittens - you will have so much fu with them - and the puppies - growing up. And I'm glad they are standing up to the dogs.

I'm looking forward to more potos of them

(Though as a Wuthering Heights purist, I'm going to have to close my eyes to the extra 'e' at the end of Heathcliff)

What is a little e between friends? I will change the spelling...

And yes, they are such fearsome creatures. I suspect all the mice are trembling in their burrows.

The big thing for the day is that they have truly discovered the litter tray!
