It’s been a couple of days since Big Boy and Little One arrived. Already we have had our ups and downs which was expected. Yet, each passing day they appear to seem more comfortable around me, the surroundings and daily routine.

Big Boy and Little One arrived on January 13, 2024. I actually found out on that day their gender was known: Big Boy-male, Little One-female. The woman who came to drop them off said they “were not neutered”. Honestly, I’m surprised by that. If that were to be the case, Little One might have had a little by now during the time with the elderly lady. That just doesn’t make sense with me. But..just in case..I’m taking to a vet very soon.

The first thing I did was introduce them to their kitty litter pan and feeding dishes. Big Boy used it almost immediately. Little One I was concerned about because I hadn’t seen her use it. As of today, goal accomplished there.

Both were skidish at first and still are to some degree. For instance, when I stand up, they scat around the room. Not so much, as on their first day. Both are now much more comfortable. The both have sat on my lap for a couple of minutes too!

I don’t have the biggest apartment. I live on the second story of a house with two bedrooms, living/family room, kitchen and bathroom. The second bathroom was closed. I wanted to get them accustomed to where I was at most of the time. I had my bedroom door open for them to explore and play around. Oh they did!

After some exploration Big Boy did his first “no-no” with a small mess in my bedroom. No big deal to clean up thankfully. Still to this day they are going room to room to explore. I finally opened the second bedroom which is an empty room with a couple of broke TV’s sitting on the floor. I’m not worried about the kids knocking ’em down. However, I do such the door at night because I don’t want them to play in their at night because right below is my neighbors kids bedroom. I think their down knocking everything they can around the house down now.

Last night, I finally got the almost perfect picture of the both of them.
