Update

I had been trying to update this once a week at very least with the progress of Harley & Quinn.

Unfortunately my mom passed away on the 15th August which has thrown everything off.

On the 16th Harley & Quinn went back to the branch runner of CAT1977 to stay while we were in the US, we had no idea if they would be coming back or not.

When we arrived home on the 22nd I called and they were still with the branch runner and he promised to bring them over later that day. About 9pm we got them as they didn’t’ want to go into the carrier and do get a bit upset when it comes to travel. I put them in the library for the night thinking they’d be scared, upset and not wanting to run amok in the house.

So all night they threw themselves at the library door wanting out, about 5am I caved in and let them out. Harley came right up to me tail up wanting fuss and Quinn was happy to run around.

Both saw Penguin and immediately rubbed all over him giving him headbutts and kisses.

This morning while putting the plate of wet cat food down I managed to stroke Quinn, just for a second and he didn’t run. It’s a small step but for Quinn it’s a huge one!

The other week when trying to clip Quinn’s nails he bit the heck out of my arm and I bled all over the bedroom before finding a plaster, so like I said it’s a huge step for this little cat.

Leaps and Bounds

It’s been a few days, well more than a few really.

Harley is coming along very well, you can go up to her slowly and waggle your fingers and she’ll sniff and then allow you to pet her.

Quinn has pretty much stopped hissing & growling at people although you still can’t get close.

Harley is a girl! It was confirmed on Sunday as she let me pet her tummy. Still no idea about Quinn though were assuming Quinn is a boy based on his huge paws.

We’ve let both out of the library into the main house and they are loving it. They tend to stay under our bed when sleeping but are out and running around when they are awake.

Penguin is their hero. They adore him to no end and will go right up to him and rub against him whenever he is around. Unfortunately Penguin isn’t used to this and tends to run.

Harley likes to lay on the computer desk and lay with Mark at night. Quinn just likes to attack feet and anything that moves.

They are adorable and a lot of fun, even if they do wake me up a few times each night for various reasons I love them. Which will be a problem when its time for them to leave.
