Photo shoot

Realized I haven't taken any pictures of the kittens in a few days... and since
sdavido got me an 8GB (!) memory card for the camera (to replace the 32MB one it came with), I can play around with it a little more.
Fortunately they were being cooperatively photogenic tonight. :-)
Napping on the couch together... they really are getting along beautifully.

Tandem meatloafing...

Caught a bathing moment! They're just starting to bathe each other... most often it's Leela bathing Minerva, but this time Minerva was the one who initiated it. Usually only lasts a few licks before the one being bathed wriggles away, but it's still great progress and very sweet.

Almost mirroring each other.

A hug? Didn't turn into a wrestling match...

Back to napping...

And now, for a bit of perspective. Remember when we first introduced them?

Here's Leela when we brought her home, end of September

and here's Leela now

Minerva when we brought her home, end of October

Minerva now

Leela is now 7 months, Minerva is now 6 months. Leela's growth seems to be leveling off but Minerva still seems to be growing. No idea whether they'll ultimately be the same size or whether one of them will be larger than the other... it'll be interesting to watch them continue to develop. But they are both turning from beautiful kittens into gorgeous cats.
They still each seem happy to stay with their respective person, too. Generally speaking when I sit down Minerva appears in my lap, and the same happens with SD- and Leela. There's usually a fair amount of purring involved. :-) They are so cute...
