2 NEW FAMILY MEMBERS

We have two Manx kittens named Samson and Delilah. Nana named them. I suggested more "obvious" names like Billie and Reuben. Samson is the shy one. Delilah is the daring explorer always curious and usually is the one who gets into trouble.

We have a large rectangular rug in the living room which doubles as a wrestling mat for these two. It is a joy to see them go at each other playfully. Samson knows when to say when, but Delilah does not give up easily. She will bite Samson either on the rear leg or on the haunches. Of course, Samson does not like that and they go at it again. They eat together, sleep together, play together.

Samson on the left and Delilah on the right.

Why me? Poor Jingles, the kitten sitter. He gets along well with the kittens. They will come up and thump him on the nose with their paws or bite his tail. Jingles doesn't seem to mind. He keeps a constant eye on them.

At their best behavior.
