Happy Gotcha Day Grr!

(Cont. from 7/3) When the kids checked the trap on July 5th, Grr was in it and she wasn't happy. The Allergic Girl tried to get Grr out of the trap and she said GRRRRRRRRRR. She finally wrapped Grr in a towel and brought the little growling bundle home. "What are we going to call you?" she asked. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR", said the towel-wrapped bundle. So we shortened it to only 2 R's, and Grr was named.
Midnight and Cocoa had already been here for 2 days, and were getting more relaxed. Grr even growled at her brother and sister at first.

After a couple days, the growling wasn't so constant and Grr started to settle in.
(picture below: Grr, Midnight, Cocoa - from left to right)
Because they were still scared feral kittens, they were confined to the bathroom and the long hallway, unless being supervised in one of the other rooms.



They all got lots of cuddling, even though Grr wasn't too thrilled with that. Grr really started to relax when the (formerly) Blonde Girl spent extra time with her, teaching her how to play.



Sorry about the picture quality. I had a really horrible camera at that time. I was amazed when it ever took a really good one, like the one below - baby Cocoa.

    Ohhh, how cute. Those are some great photos, even with a not-so-great camera. Well, look at the subject material. That last photo is very good.
    I don't think we've seen some of these photos before, either.
    Thanks for a great post.

    Oh dear! Mom put down those car keys! You cannot run to the shelter looking for a long furred panther baby! Nope, don't try and go to Petfinder either. You'll have to settle with a middle aged short furred panther like me.

    "I want one! I mean three! They were just adorable. How can you tell them apart in those pics? I can't believe that Grr grrrred at her brother and sis when she was reunited with them. Silly girl!"

    How's Max?
