**Heloise** - It was only me making a vague reference to Coldfire’s history of posting motorcycle pics… (as well as me refraining from making obnoxious statements containing innuendos about…well…kitties on motorcycles. **Angua** also successfully refrained from making them!) ---

Awwwww! Cute little fuzzy baby kitties! I’ll second **Tiggrkitty** ’s recommendation of a collar. We got ID tags with our address and phone number made at Petco for the Neville kitties. ---

> [@Coldfire](#): > > So far they only seem to respond to “Getyernailsoutofthecouchyoulittlefucker”. Odd, I know. 😃 Odd. Our kittens were always known as “Getouttathere” and “Getoffathat”. Getting two at the same time was a wise move, as the best toy for a kitten is another kitten. They’re adorable. Now I want a kitten. ---

Cute little snugglers 🙂 You’ll have lots of fun days with these sweet kitties! Love the names, glad you switched, err…corrected, to Jules. He would get teased a lot by the other kitties in kindergarten if you left it Julius. 😃 ---

> [@taxi78cab](#): > > Awwww, kittens are so cute! But they grow up so fast. My kitties are all grown up now. \ ☹ heh. We have one grown cat now (the other one we are still looking for); last night when I got ready to go to sleep, he was curled up at the foot of my side of the bed. Nice foot warmer, those big kitty cats 🙂 Our two kittens are hilarious. The male tries to pin the female to the ground, but she always manages to wiggle out of the pin and wack him upside the head. ---

I can’t wait until Julius brings **Coldfire** his first “present.” “Do you see a sign on my house that says ‘Dead Vole Storage?’ **Do you see a sign on my house that says ‘Dead Vole Storage?’** No, you didn’t, because storing dead voles **ain’t my fuckin’ business!** ” ---

> [@](#): > > So far they only seem to respond to “Getyernailsoutofthecouchyoulittlefucker”. Reminds me of a cartoon I saw . . . somewhere . . . years ago.

Honey, you’re dating yourself. ( A scenario best captured with a video camcorder… ). It’s 2004. They get to reference “Pulp Fiction”. Were this the 1975 version of the Straight Dope then I have no doubt but that our two heroes would have named the kittens Pussy Galore and Mr. Oddjob. 😉 ---

Good grief, _Twins_… boy, did we dodge a bullet there! OK, Jules it is. Period. 🙂 The cats don’t need collars for now. They’re indoor cats for the time being. We live in a second floor apartment with a balcony. The balcony is quite big, and maybe we’ll let them on it when they’re bigger - it’s a 2.5 meter drop onto grass should they fall off, which is fine for an adult cat but not so much for a 10 week old fur ball. 🙂 Also, in the event of an outbreak, the kittens have a chip inside them (!!) with all their details. So if they’re found, we can easily be traced as the owners by every vet in the country. “Dead Vole Storage” cracked me up. 😃 ---

Wow, definitely a close call with _Twins_. Although Jules is a little bigger than Vincent. They’ve spent a good chunk of the day running at top speed into things, and snuggling up on my lap whenever I sat down for a second. I’m in love. ---

Ohh, fuzzywuzzysnuggleyitsybitsys. Dang it, now you’ve gone and done it. My SO has given me permission to get another kitten, as long as the present cat approves. So far, I’ve resisted. (Wanders off to find out how late the animal shelter is open.)
