Cats

So here are our kitties. on the left Birba, she's just been re-homed to us last week, she's was called Bitten (as in Bitten the Kitten, but we are trying to rename her) and on the right Torakiki, he's been with us since he was 6 weeks old, he was so tiny!

He's about to turn a year old now. They are still slightly distrustful of each other, but just now they 're both in the organic veg box on top of the fridge snoring away.

Italians will notice how both are named after cats from cartoons that used to be on Italian TV in the 80s, Torakiki after the cat in Japanese toon Hallo Spank:

while Birba was Gargamella's cat (I think in English she's called Azrael and the evil guy Gargamel) in the Smurfs: we do like our 80s toons..
