The New Members of Our Family... Nuestra Nueva Familia

Now that we are hitched, we thought we'd expand the family sooner than later, so we went ahead and adopted two little ones from the Fairmount Pet Shoppe down the street. They are both from the ASPCA, but the shop is authorized to adopt them out. It is such a great idea and partnership. We love supporting the ASPCA and a local business all at once!
Little Eva and Ruby are approximately 3 months old. They are not biological sisters, but they get along just like they are. Fighting, playing, vying for our attention, cuddling, sharing each other's food, protecting each other, napping, becoming jealous, getting each other sick. We love them so much.

Ruby is the long haired calico grey. She is more affectionate, more of a trouble maker, and a voracious eater. Eva is black and white with a perfect little black heart shaped nose. She is more of a lady, a bit more shy, and much more fastidious.

Did you know that when cats get sick, you should give them chicken and rice soup? Also, chamomile is soothing for eye irritation. We are reading "Cats for Dummies" but we didn't get either of those two facts from that piece of brilliant literature.
