Kittens!

The kittens arrived yesterday! They're so cute! It seems like they only have 2 modes: sleep and play. And when they play, boy are they hyper. They chase each other around our living room and fight with each other for hours. Other times, they'll randomly attack a shoe, a wire, or the couch. They climb the furniture with their itty-bitty claws to get on the couch with us. Hopefully, we'll buy or build a scratching post before they're big enough to do any damage.


They are both girls. One we have named Boncuk (pronounced like Bone-Juke) which means "bead." It is a common cat name here, and the name of a cat in a story in our textbook. We are still trying to come up with a second name. We can think of lots of good boy names, but few good girl names. We want it to make sense to our friends. Neither my roommate nor I has ever really been responsible for a cat before, so we're still learning. But so far, so good!
