It’s a few more weeks until we can collect the kittens from the rescue centre, but we’re getting regular updates on their progress from the owner.
After much hilarity, deliberation and discarded lists we’ve chosen to call them Fergus and Freya. Sort of a Scottish/Nordic mix that we felt was appropriate for a couple of croft cats on the island.
Freya looks unbelievably cute in the photos that we’ve been sent. Her tabby markings are very symmetrical and she has the sweetest face. We’ll probably discover that she’s the evil one of the pair and that her calm expression hides the demeanour of a demon.
Fergus on the other hand, as my oldest friend says, looks a bit like a git in waiting. His markings are more random and he has a slight dark splodge on his face, which is a good thing, as otherwise they would be very difficult to tell apart . He definitely has a more mischievous face.
Whatever their personalities end up being, we’ll love them as they are.
A kind neighbour who recently lost their cat donated lots of food bowls, kitty litter etc, so we haven’t had to buy much. A few toys, a couple of kitten collars, and my latest purchase, some pots of catmint..😊 which may not be a wise idea, but we’ll see.

Love it. Have a lot of fun. You may not need many toys, a cardboard box is always the most popular. 😉

Always! And who would play with expensive hemp rope scratching posts when there are sofas to be had? 😆

And cardboard boxes we have LOTS of. We’re still only about 20% unpacked!

Excellent. Think big or at least 2 levels. The possibilities are endless. You will not need your TV license…entertainment for hours…well, until the Duracell’s run down and then there is ‘calm’. Yes, watch the settees. Lol

Love the names! We have used both of those on our sheep. Fergus was our breeding ram for awhile, and we still have Freya the ewe. Great names! 🙂

Thank you! I suspect they’ll be a bundle of mischief, and I fear for my sofas, but it’s all part of the experience!

The sofas will be victimized…😁

The cat mint can be bribery.

I hope so! I haven’t tried them properly on it. We should be able to get them out into the polycrub very soon and it will be interesting to see how they react to it
