Update on Stella and Preston

Greetings from Stella and Preston!

We joined our new family almost two weeks ago and we are soooooo happy! We have lots of room to run, stairs to climb, place to hide and have sneak attacks on each other! We have an older brother, Ed, who is 6 years old. At first, he didn’t like us too much – he would hiss and spit at us, but we’d make our tails fat and run sideways and that seemed to scare him away. We are now all love buddies and play together – but sometimes we get too annoying and he swats us. He showed us the ropes of climbing on the kitchen table to watch the birds outside and how to use the new scratching post. We have toy mice that we chase and some cool high places to perch and nap. There is a human boy and girl who let us sleep with them at night and they are very good about cleaning our box, keeping our water fresh and making sure we have good food. We get to show off for their friends too! Their mom calls us “the ninja kittens” because we are stealth and can appear from nowhere! All of our humans love when we sit on their laps and purrrrrr but we are not sure why they don’t think it is fun when we climb up their legs to get to their laps. They know we will be big enough to jump up there pretty soon!

On our third day at our new home, we went to the vet’s. The car ride was ok and the vet was pretty nice. There was big dog there so it was a good thing we were in the carrier – he didn’t look too friendly. The vet said we were very healthy and was glad our humans adopted us!! We weighed in at 3lbs a piece. Life is good!

We will try to send some pictures this weekend – we are getting taller – but we have a hard time sitting still long enough to get a good picture, there are so many exciting things to do that distract us. Stella like to try to play with the computer screen and is mesmerized by the trying to catch the cursor. Preston likes anything Stella likes.

We miss our friends and humans at Homeward but we are very happy with our new family and our feline brother Ed!

Talk to you soon!
