We have been having a great time with our new kittens. We renamed Cantabria, Ginger. It was either that or Ethel. They are sweet and playful and we get to experience "Kitten Thunderdome" several times a day as they chase and play with each other. No issues to speak of. They are getting very familiar with our 100lb dog, Sammy, and both sides are doing well.
