Well everything went well through the night. Poor baby Pouncer sat for a looong cuddling session unlike one he's ever sat for. Then he slipped in between the blankets and slept with us ALL night, whereas he usually will sleep with us once in a while, and only partially through the night. Allen acted like Joe Cool and hanging out on the perimiter of the room when I let them out to play in the livingroom. The one decided to take off and run to the office, which is the doorway Allen decided to sit and watch from, and she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw him... poofy tail, arched back. It was sooo cute to see this little critter the size of my hand do that! She did the same thing when Nicki walked up all happy and cautiously waggingher tail to say hello.

Once I have the front room completely done and "fosterized" I can let them out to play and not worry about them getting hurt. Right now they are in their cage, and I feel so guilty about that. I played with them for about an hour this morning and will do so again around 10:00 (a re-run of a favorite old TV show is on then, so I'll take a break and play while watching! ) Am I doing ok? Should they have more playtime? I know I need to keep my boys separated, but they seem to be separating themselves just fine! If either of them are going to become friendly to the kittens, it'll be Allen. SPOILED Pouncer wants nothing to do with them.

As for names, Jen tells me that IS what their first foster mom named them. I'm going to see if I can change them. I had a dream last night and the name Hanna came to me for the calico girl and this morning I decided on Ella for the tabby because she has little white slippers like Cinderella. What do you think? Now all I'd have to do is find out HOW to change their names - if possible - with the foster program. Bad and Badder are just... well... badly named.
