The house feels so much better. The shelter had a pair of six-month-old brothers they wanted to keep together. So we did.


The black one was very affectionate at the shelter; the ginger is very shy. At the moment, the black one is "hiding" in a corner; the ginger is hiding in a carrier. They'll be fine...
The new shelter manager used to work as a vet tech at our vet, so when I walked in, she knew immediately that Spotacus was gone and I was there to adopt. We did not have to go through the full adoption nut roll, because she knew how we care for our cats. We also got 50% off the adoption fee by taking the bonded pair. Good deal all the way around.
The family is coming up with names. :R
Some examples:
Legolas and Strider (Lord of the Rings)
Vladimir and Estragon (Waiting for Godot)
Kirk and Spock (Star Trek)
Scotty and McCoy (Star Trek)
Hash and Tag (no. just no.)
Tyrian and Tywin (Game of Thrones)
Jamie and Ian (Outlander)
Barnaby and Troy (Midsomer Murders)
Wurst and Fest (local celebration, but no)
Things will get silly before we find the right names.
