Our newest set of kittens are settling in.

Manhattan makes me think of a rat. A pretty rat - but a rat. She's pure black, with this skinny little rat-like tail, and huge dark eyes. She's the smaller of the two, and she washes everything, just like Tiger. She's a whopping two pounds.

Callisto is probably twice her size, and we think he'll be the biggest of the four, if his long tail and collie-dog paws are any indication. His tail is so long, he can't hold it up in the air like the other three, so it sort of flops from side to side. He's the prettiest cat I have EVER seen. He looks a bit like a little lion, except that he's a dark brown/grey/black tabby. But the way his face is shaped reminds me very much of a panthera cub. If there were kitty beauty pageants (actually, I'm sure some weirdo out there is running one) he'd win.

Manhattan plays fetch.

If you throw a little paper ball for her, she runs and pounces on it, then picks it up in he mouth and brings it back to you, dropping it at your feet. It's too cute for words.
