Both families at dinner

It’s been interesting to watch how these kitties accepted a blended family. Mouse and two of her kittens were adopted, leaving Harlind and Thomas with Hazel and her kittens. They get along quite well. Farley loves playing with the bigger kids. The big kids graciously condescend to play with the little ones. If they’re all chasing a toy, the big ones will often retire from the field if the littles want to play. It’s remarkably tolerant.

Here are the two families, eating happily together. Puck is in the middle, and his siblings are Charlie Pie (the calico, bottom right), Farley (the tabby next to Puck), and Smudge (the orange tabby next to Farley). Thomas (bottom left) and Harlind (top right) are the remaining kittens of Mouse.
