Fidget and Whisper

So, a couple of days ago I was sat having breakfast in the kitchen when I could hear this awful crying sound. Thinking it was next door's cat, I ignored it as I assumed that my next door neighbour would see to it.

However, it went on and on and on until I could ignore it no longer. I opened the back door and this little bedraggled bundle of grey fur zoomed into the kitchen, and I spotted a tiny little soggy brown kitten peeping from beneath the stone barbecue. It pootled across the yard and into the kitchen.

They were tiny and soaking and shivering. And I'm not entirely sure how they got there! They either:

1. Got dumped in the field behind my house and managed to jump over my fence into the back yard. There's not really anywhere for them to squeeze through. But the tiniest one was in such a state that I don't think she could have jumped.
2. Someone has actually, purposely dumped them in my back yard.
3. Mummy cat brought them into my yard for shelter. This could be the case as my next door neighbour says she saw a pregnant adult cat come into my yard later on that day. (Bear in mind that the kittens are a few weeks old!)
4. My mate C says that Destiny brought them as I need to be responsible for something in my life! And I'm kind of inclined to agree with her as Mr DeadTreePara is a 'cat' person - and there's not really been many men in my life who have been!! Plus I keep on saying I'll get a kitten, but am put off by the dead bird/mice that they may bring in. Or even worse - the live ones!
   

Mr DeadTreePara suggested some names and we settled on Fidget for the bigger cat: he's always on the go! And Whisper for the smaller cat: because she WAS quiet and subdued - however, now she's as manic as Fidget!

So, Para and Mr DeadTreePara are now the proud parents of two little fur-babies!

PS - it's my first night alone with them tonight - it's a bit scary!
