Haha. Im not pregnant.

We just adopted the two most beautiful kittens. Introducing Timmy and Chappy to the Errington family. They're both boys roughly about 8 weeks old. They're so tiny but they're so adorable.

They were abandoned by whomsoever - so we like to think that we are giving them a new fresh start in a new home.

I was told that they would take some time to warm up to me and everything. We got them this morning but already after a few hours, they were circling around me and I get to pet them and touch them. They were even playing and scratching on a newly bought scratch post. What a fabulous miracle!

Timmy was the first to make his move and warms up quick to me but Chappy seems to be the more playful one. They have both been through a lot till now and I hate to put them through that again.

We are also extremely broke at the moment. I've spend so much on their litter box, food, carrier and we even got them a really cute scratch post! We still have to pay for their shots and so on and I'm also thinking pet insurance? Sigh. So much for saving some money for our next trip. (We are thinking of Oman...). I'll post pictures on them playing on it soon. You just can't help but grin like a mad idiot watching them play.

This is my first time ever owning my own pet. Daniel is saying that I'm like a new mother and that I worry so much. I can't help it cause I know they've been through hell before this, being abandoned and all.

Timmy is apparently very much a desert cat with its big ears but Chappy is more like an European mix cat.

Introducing...



Timmy (orange) and Chappy (Grey). They will grow into their ears!!





Timmy! He sits on my lap and makes such an adorable 'puurrrriiinnng' noise






Chappy! He is definitely the more playful kitten and loves to be petted.



Hehe. You all must have thought that I was pregnant after reading the first line huh?

Not gonna happen anytime soon. I aint gonna lose that bet girls. We all have our number on whos next.
