Hi Freedom,

Thank you for the compliments on my photos.
I guess I should've mentioned in my initial post that my girls all have their own webpages of photos!

I do believe you replied to my post about how I had to rehome our Tiger Lily who had been chosen COTD in May '09 which initially brought me to this site, but then all the emotions of rehoming her and the busy Holiday season distracted me from the forum....Molly's "wild" side is coming out now that the tension Tiger Lily's presence caused. And here I thought Tiger Lily and myself were the only 2 stressing! Molly has been super playful and more affectionate with me AND my husband lately. We're relishing the change!

Kit and Molly will be 3 years old in February. They were born to a feral on the property of one of my vets' clients. My vet and the employees there are all pretty much into rescue and fostering. They have a small section of cages in the lobby where they sometimes have kittens up for adoption. Kit & Molly's litter was one available after we lost our Jack Russell Terrier to old age in '07. I had been in to pick up Aggie's ashes early April and there were 3 cages full of kittens at that time. When my husband and I were ready, we went up a few weeks later and only Kit & Molly were left in their litter and 2 beautiful mostly white with orange kittens in another cage. The white w/orange kittens were FIV positive and having a cat at home already(Philly), we didn't feel confident about adopting them. My husband was insisting only one, I was good, I kept my mouth shut. I let the tech's do the talking for me and we ended up coming home with both sisters. My husband had initially picked Kit. I was letting him do the choosing.

They have ALWAYS gotten along. Since maturing, they don't snuggle as much as they did at first, but they still get along just fine. Their personalities are very different, and things changed as they matured. As kittens, Molly was the bolder one. Now, Molly is more demure and "proper", Kit is the big flirt. Although Molly seems to be changing some, seems a lot more relaxed now. You can probably note in the photos that Molly has one bad eye...she had an injury to it already when she was brought in to my vets to the adoption area. It doesn't seem to bother her and she does have some sight in it.

Kit is like a second mother to Piper, who is Tiger Lily's daughter. Kit will groom Piper's head and snuggle with her as well as play with her.

Philly gets along with all the cats pretty well, but Kit is the only one she'll really play with. That's partly because, as a kitten, Kit looked like she idolized Philly. She followed her around chattering at her until Philly finally caved, LOL!
