They have been running around for first hour that I introduced them to my home. The litter box was a great hit. I think because it is fresh and all their own.
The drive home was interesting.
Prisoner Enid: *Rattling cup on bars* Let me out. I will never see Johnny Cash in Folsom if you don't let me out.
Prisoner Hester: *Wakes up from nap* Would you SHUT UP! I am sleeping here. The warden said if we took a nap, the trip to our new home would go a lot faster.
Prisoner Enid: I'm gonna die in here. Die, I say. Die. Let me out.
Prisoner Hester: Oh, for the love of God. *Snakes paw out of cell to grab warden's hand and places it on Enid's head.
Prisoner Enid" Oh. That feels nice. *Mumbles quietly" I still want out.
Once out of the prison of the cat carrier it was all *OMG! Toys. Litter box. Curtains. Food. Water (Achoo - water up my nose!) Toys., etc. Running over everything and who could make it to the litter box and back again the fastest. Now they have climbed on to me.
Pause for nap. I am back again. I think I went cross-eyed with love. They curled up under my chin on either side before taking their nap. Enid thought my nose needed some cleaning before snuggling in and Hester just rolled over on my glasses. My eyes glazed over and I fell asleep. I later then picked them up and put them into my bed so I could get some work done. The picture above is the girls waiting for me to come to bed.
What a lovely, lovely first day. Thanks for sharing it with all of your girls' IBKC fans... Congratulations on your new family.
ReplyDeleteOh look at your new girls. It seems like only yesterday...
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know that all is well with Enid and Hester. Those two (and their sisters) are so chock full of love. Such lucky new families they have.
Happy holidays to you all.
aaaww, I've been checking all day to see when they would appear here after having packed their suitcases at IBKC :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that they're settling in and are being showered with love and cuddles
They look pretty darned happy in their new digs, that's for sure. I'm very happy for the chance to see them start their new, happy lives!
ReplyDeleteI hope they never ever lose that little kitty charm. Such sweet ladies they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen, for sharing. And happy happy holidays to you, Enid & Hester.
Oh! *melts*
ReplyDelete...it must have taken a lot of willpower to detach yourself from those two...
Karen, you are such a good writer! It was almost like being in the car with you three. It's a surprise that Hester is the more laid back, at least when it comes to traveling. It sounds as if all three of you are made for each other. There is nothing better than a nap with kitties.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home.
What Anne Boleyn said about what a good writer you are, Karen! I loved hearing what the two itty bitties had to say during their trip to their new home.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that they're not a bit shy. They KNOW that this is their new home with their new human staff. :-)
Thanks again and again for sharing their news with us!
Oh Karen, what a perfect description of a perfect first day with the little beauties :) Loved the play-by-play of the car trip :) These lucky angels have found the perfect forever home :) I'm so happy for all of you and can't wait to read the rest of the adventures of Enid and Hester :)
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I'm so glad to see they are settling in! Thrilled that the three of you have each other!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the newest additions to your family!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how the first night went.. :)
ReplyDeleteYay - Glad to see they are home!!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I came over from the IBKC blog. I loved your account of Enid and Hester's trip to their new home!! Now, thanks to you, I want more kittens :-) My cats are almost 6 and almost 7 years old. They were both rescue kittens. Enjoy this precious time with your new little ones...they grow up SO fast!
ReplyDeleteThat was so funny! I enjoyed reading it, what a pair they are! Sounds like they've settled in very easily. Have a lovely Christmas, all of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you ever so much for sharing the girl's first day! I can't wait to follow the adventures of these lovely little girls in their forever home!
ReplyDeleteSo I am not the only "Warden" who gets vocal demans for release "NOW"...Thanks for sharing the girls. Some of us in the East Coast are a bit jealous of those who get these babies...sigh.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your girls on IBKC too. It is so much fun to watch them grow. Thanks for sharing!
hugs,
puglette

"Nobody knoooows ... the trouble I've seen...."
ReplyDeleteHeehee, this post was fun to read. Congratulations, Karen, and I hope you have a happy life with Enid and Hester. And thank you for sharing, I know these two girls have attracted a bit of a fan club. Of which I am one.
P.S.: I never knew Enid was a Johnny Cash fan. :D
P.P.S.: My own cat Mowgli says hi.
Yay for IBKs going to their forever home in a pair! I love it when people take two litter-mates.
ReplyDeleteMore adventures, please! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Enid and Hester and Karen,
ReplyDeleteI have a blog of my own and I think you should drop by. If you/your human will be posting as your precious kitty selves you should check out the Cat Blogosphere. You may be very surprised to see a whole online community of cat bloggers. I know they would welcome you with open paws.
I'll be keeping my eyes on you, so glad you found a great home.
