Update on the Kitties

[erastes]

For those of you who didn't see I rang today for these two boys and when I got home the foster mum rang me to say that

1. yes they were still available and
2. I could have them and
3. I could pick them up on Sunday!

A bit worrying as i was expecting a home-check (and was panicking about the head high nettle garden and the non-tidy house) but still... I could have been a cat -curry fetishist or a vivisectionist.

However - less tidying is always good. and Kitties, particularly black and white kitties are even better. I didn't like to tell them that as Lili is white and my LJ is black and white.... *G* Got to blend in, dahling...

So. Names. Judging by "Piglet's" expression, I'm leaning towards Lucius and Severus at the moment (I know.. I know...) and before you all jump down my neck and say "But Severus should be black" JKR has already affirmed that Severus is GOOD. (damn him). So SYMBOLICALLY he's white. With a few black blodges. And Lucius has less black blodges (even though he's darker) because he works harder at looking innocent.

What? WHAT? I can't be illogical? You HAVE READ The Half-Dead Prince, haven't you?

"Lucius" definitely has that haughty look about him!

I'm going to wait until I see them before I decide - evidently "Severus" (Popp) is the more dominant one - which makes so much sense...

My god, I'm so out of touch. YAY NEW KITTIES! And they're SO cute. You've obviously worked very hard on justifying those names to yourself so well done. Very convincing. *snicker*

Am just emailing you some Ed/Phil pictures over now.

What? You don't think I'll be totally convincing running out calling "Lili, Lucius, Severus"???

Am gagging for the photos.

did you see this?

i want!!!!!!!

2 pics just sent. Hope they're not too big, I smallerised them as much as I could.

And OMG that is just so cool! I wonder how much they'll go for? I'm seriously tempted to bid on something.

(I want to call the baby Lily but since it's my nan's name it would cause too much political friction with my other grandmother so I can't. SUCKFEST. I could call her Bellatrix or Narcissa but I think social services might just lock me up for such cruelty.)

lol, I have to have cats who are black, white or a mixture of both. I like the one on the right of the picture, he looks a bit startled.

evidently he's mr dominant... !!

ahha I liked Piglet and Popp as names but I take immense satisfaction from naming cats with irreverent names. SOMEone has to take them down a peg? Silly snooty things. *said with much affection for the kitties*

Omg, the cuteness! I would go for Lucius and Severus, too - it's a great choice. :)

No throat-jumping. Just posing a question. In ten years, or fourteen years, will the names Lucius and Severus be as appealing? I speak from experience. *g* I was a Trek geek when I first got kittens, and twelve years later I'm still explaining Mr. Data.

Just saying. :)

They're adorable boys.

What's the other grandmother's name?

I've never had one grandparent, so am very jealous!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Mr Data! That's so gorgeous!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I haven't totally decided yet, I have to meet them first, but squee! I can't wait to bring them home!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Aren't they adorable! There was a long haired black baby girl who looked like Spooky who I lost last year, but when I saw these two, I just thought, yes!

Lucius has the *perfect* haughty look!

Oh gods, i'm a sucker for kittens!!! They look so damn cute! And something tells me that these 2 will be a handfull - strong characters! (But that's why we love them, right?)

Before Finnegan,I have thought about kittens too but the thought to raise them again, pluck them out of the curtains and all that... nahhhhhh

He was the best cat ever. :) He was Will's littermate.

But as soon as I said his name, I was a Trek geek! And by the time he died, I hadn't watched the show in years.

they are 10months so they HOPEFULLY won't be too mad. I dare say they'll be under the bed for a day or two! Will keep everyone posted!

The other grandmother is called Mary and they hate each other. Even if I called the baby Lily Mary there would be issues (will strikings, no more xmas presents etc) with which name came first. Drives me nuts.

That's such a shame that you haven't had grandparents. You've missed out on years of being alternately spoilt rotten and slagged off to hell ('Here's £20, buy yourself something nice or maybe get a haircut, you always look such a mess'). And the gems they come out with! I could fill a book with fabulous quotes from my grandparents.
