Woah there ! Bert had always said, if a pet died or disappeared there would be no replacement for a while.
I, however, thought it would be a good idea.
And, my mother said, if you get two, you'll be entertained all the time, because they will play with each other and they will have so much fun. Bert protested, but was overruled by two to one.
Off we went, my mum, my friend Sophie and I visited the local cat rescue and came back home with two male, ginger and white kittens.
Meet Alfie & Louis, who came to live with us October 2017.
Mischief, always full of mischief.
Louis (left) & Alfie (right) - look at that scrunched up little face.
Watcha doin' mister ?
Helping with the reupholstery !
Keeping Blackie company. Poor dog had his paws attacked many a time.
There I was thinking, I'll make them a big christmas present to play with. Maybe they won't be eyeing up the tree.
I was wrong !
Granny time !
Louis, clean as a whistle. Alfie, not so much.
Taking turns.
Louis, who loves to crawl into his little den, but also loves a blanket to curl up under.
Here they are now, just over one year old and they have given us lots of laughs so far.
Louis is a real hunter and we'll often try to save his prey, not always successfully unfortunately.
Alfie goes more after small fry, like insects, a piece seaweed, a mussel shell or a clump of grass.
That's it for this post. One year in the life of the ginger twins.
