boris and sasha

My neighbor/bff Caitlin is a truly great person. i'm humbled by her goodness and often have "what would Caitlin do" moments in stressful situations, and this usually diffuses my temper. she's a kind and giving soul with a soft spot for animals, and last year started caring for two twin feral kittens who lived in a vacant field near our neighborhood. they started out completely wild, skinny, terrified of humans, and very, very feisty. After a few months of love and nurturing, these wild things softened up and became more brave around people. Now they live with Caitlin and they're basically obsessed with her. They follow her everywhere. Meowing. Pouncing. Doing cat things. She can't even come over for a cup of tea without one of them staring at her through the window like a crazed stalker. Geez, cats. Calm down, would you? Anyway, I love a good rescue story and wanted to introduce these two misfits, Boris and Sasha. Besides, what's more adorable than matching cats?
