It’s not easy to get good pictures of them when they are whizzing by you at 300 miles per hour, but it is a good way for me to practice my picture taking skills!  I’ve taken so many pictures of them already, not only are they no longer troubled by the camera noises or the flash, sometimes I think they are actually posing for me.  (“Wait, this is my better side.”  ”Let me roll on my back so you can get a good shot of my fuzzy belly.  Isn’t it cute the way I swat at the little mouse?”) 

Off to the races!  Sprinting up and down the hallway is a favorite passtime.  Notice little girl kitty right behind giving chase.

Diving in for the kill

The near-constant Mexican standoff

More name suggestions:

Zippy and Poppy (Frank and Kristen)
Tigger and Roo (Frank)
Tigger and Winnie (Frank)
Zip and Vroom (David G. — quite appropriate for this set of photos)
Perseus and Andromeda (David G.)
Hansel and Gretel (Kristen and David G.)
Hasan and Zuhra or Fatima and Husan (Lisa S. – the Uzbek names for girl and boy twins…depending on which is older)
Bob and Melinda (Lisa S. – after the Blanchards…authors of our favorite cookbook)
Condi and Rummy (Danny)
Samson and Delilah (Mandi)
Linus and Lucy (Kristen)
Bobby and Cindy (Kristen)
Mork and Mindy (Kristen)
Ying and Yang (or Yingie and Yangie, for Kristen) (Charlie)
Sodapop and Popcorn (Charlie)
East and West (Charlie)
Frizzy and Dizzy (Charlie)
Bonnie and Clyde (Charlie)
Nacho and Salsa (Monica)
Dash and Violet (from The Incredibles) (Jessie)
Puddin’ and Zippy (Sam)

Frank is advocating for Tigger.  Kristen thinks that’s inappropriate because he’s not orange.  If the boy is Tigger, we can’t decide if the girl is more of a Roo or a Winnie.  Or if she should just be named Zippy.  Either way, the cats are more and more fun each day as they loosen up and start to get cuddly.
