We adopted a pair of kittens from my younger brother's family. Their genders were a little ambiguous and we were told one was male and the other was female. We named them Duke and Duchess. Turns out they're both female so Duke's name has morphed into Dookie. They are endless cuteness and mischief.
The two of them got to play with a new friend today and had my daughter in stitches. We feed a male feral kitten outside we've dubbed LB, short for Leah's Brother (it's a long story). There is a gap under our front door normally kept covered by a roll of cloth but for a while today it was open. Orange paws appear under the door and white paws slap at them. They disappear and the white paws go under the door and suddenly get withdrawn again. Back and forth. They had a blast. They have seen each other from a distance but have never been introduced.

Their feral counterpart is a handsome fellow as well. He's a small orange tabby. Just don't have any photos of him yet. Still very cautious around people and won't come close to me yet.

Sleep, eat, or play that's their three modes. We've got a stick with a mouse on a string but we don't need it to get them going.

@koopharper We used to make a 'mouse' with a bit of rolled up paper tied to a string. The top off a biro was another favourite thing to bat around.

@JudyEv Ours will pry a crumped Kleenex out of the garbage and bat that around for hours.

It's a little disturbing to hear a crash downstairs when all the people are upstairs.

@rebelann We do have to restrict where certain things get put. Even though they are not allowed on the dining room table, never leave the butter unattended there.

They can be endless entertainment. When they aren't into mischief they're nothing less than adorable.

Dutchess is the one looking at the camera in the picture. Dookie's face is a little bit wider and the eyes don't slant quite as much. They are sweet little kitties. The feral kitten is a handsome young tomcat we just don't have any pictures of him yet.

Thank you. They are and so is the feral outside. Eventually, when the winter gets harsher he will likely come in until we find him a forever home.
