Clare and Galway, born 20 January 2008 joined the McBride family yesterday. I found them via Craigslist. They were living in Prior Lake, MN. Their mother is a tiny, petite calico cat. It's hard to imagine that she had 5 kittens. She must have looked like a blimp.
They did very well on the drive home. They slept well all night and have carved out their special niches in the apartment.
Clare is what I guess I would call a muted calico. She doesn't have the distinct spots that my previous calico cats had. But she's not really a tortoise shell, like Kilkenny, because her colors are distinct. She is named after County Clare, Ireland. Galway is an orange cat, he matches my hair. I had been looking for an orange kitten for awhile. I don't think I've had an orange one since about 1952 when I had Fluffy. He is named after beautiful Galway Bay in Ireland.
They are keeping us entertained. Kilkenny ignores them. Wexford is staying up high. Donegal is grooming them.
Major spring snow storm due tonight. The nice thing about spring snow is that it melts fast, seldom lasting more than a day or two.
