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.
This is a video I've tried to post before, but Vox wouldn't let me Tonight, though, it worked, so everyone can behold the cuteness of Trizzay, Elektra and Persephone when they were eight week old kittens (aka the age of maximum cuteness.)
This picture really captures how astonishingly large Morgana's ruff has gotten this winter.
Looks like I already broke my New Year's resolution not to post so many pictures of my cats. This is a nice picture, though, because it's rare nowadays to see Morgan and Alcina, so inseparable during their first year of life, proximate to each other without hostilities breaking out.
Today is the fourth anniversary of my mom adopting her two cats, Alcina and Morgana, from an adoption booth run by the Milo Foundation. This is what they looked like just after they arrived.
And here is what they look now. As you can see, they've gotten bigger, and in Morgana's case, much fluffier.
