Things I'd forgotten about kittens

It's been around 12 years since we last had a kitten (the dear departed Megan). Yesterday we adopted two nearly 10 week old kittens from the RSPCA. With a little bit of encouragement Jojo agreed to call them Danny and Zucco (rather than Pinky and Dinky - her preferred choice). Jojo was disappointed that we can't rename them everyday (the rspca had called them Hancock and Ryder) but she decided that as we've been listening/watching Grease almost constantly (in honour of Mel's forthcoming wedding) that taking the leading man's name was good enough. We've been amazed at how quickly Jojo and Danny have bonded. Zucco is a bit of a scaredy-cat but is coming round. By the way, Danny is all black and Zucco is black/white.

Anyway - things I'd forgotten:

1. kittens can jump side ways
2. kittens are very skittish
3. kittens have a special kitten smell
4. kittens can't resist chasing bits of fluff
5. kittens love climbing up the back of your legs/back/shoulders. Ow
6. kittens are remarkably tolerant of toddlers - even when they get licked by them
7. kittens will rarely sleep in the special basket you prepare but will find somewhere random instead

We've never had two kittens at the same time before and they love getting snuggled up together and washing each too.
