Feline housemates

So my new place to live has four cats: one mother cat and three half-grown kittens. This means I can finally contribute to the purpose of the internet and post cat photos! I am really more of a dog person, but yes, they are charming and have won me over with no great effort.

I kept them out of my room for the first two weeks, because they do have a tendency to claw at things, and also I had boxes everywhere and I was afraid they'd get stuck in some unlikely hiding place and get squashed or something. This annoyed them mightily, because the kittens were born in that room and felt it rightfully belonged to them.


Now that I have let them in, they have taken my bed into their possession. From the left, that's Ester, Charlie, and Skuggan (=Shadow), and the mother is Müsli. Ester and Charlie will go to other homes eventually.


And yes, they still want to suck milk, even though they eat cat food now! Look at the mom almost buried underneath them--they're almost as big as she is.

I do remember liking cats early in my childhood, before I turned into more of a dog person. Dogs are just easier to communicate with than cats? Or maybe they're more interested in communicating with you. But yes, cats definitely have their charm as well.

My cats are very interested in communicating with me, they talk a lot, I just don't understand them. Like with humans! ;)
But dogs, yeah. I used to understand dogs. Maybe I still do, but haven't had one in a long time :(
