Today is the fifth anniversary of my mom’s adoption of her two cats, Alcina and Morgana.
Here’s the original announcement from my mom:
On Saturday at the Rockridge street fair I got two absolutely adorable kittens (about 10 weeks old). They are sisters and one is a tabby runt, like the booter! She is very shy and very cute. The other is a beautiful grey with blue-green eyes and a bit more forward. They adore their little furry playthings and growl at them so I think they will be hunters.
They are very much at ease with each other. They hid last night under the banquettes in the kitchen -there was a hole I did not know about! - but now I blocked it up so they have the run of the kitchen which they like.
It’s amazing how established their personalities were even on that first day. They are indeed fierce huntresss and fairly shy, though they are making progress as they get older. Morgana will even allow my mom to pet her sometimes.
Although I have a reputation as a great cat namer in our family, it was actually my sister Annie who came up with their names, after going through the list of famous sisters in opera. Although Alcina and Morgana are pretty high-falutin names, it seemed to suit them.
