Itsy, they are beautiful!!! I just recently loss my male white deaf kitty of 8 years. His name was Willard. I saved him from getting ran over on a busy highway while he was chasing bugs. He was a few months old and full of ticks and fleas. I thought it was weird that the traffic didn't scare him and I was scared he would run into the road if I didn't catch him right off the bat. I pulled over and got out of my truck and walked back to were the little kitty was playing with a bug and reached down and picked him right up no problem. But when I got him back inside my truck, there was a problem. He was wild and scared to death of me and were he was. He was also very hungery and the only thing I had with me was a Big Mac from McDonalds. So I started breaking off little bites for him and to the day he passed away, his greeting for me was to lick my fingers. I didn't want any more inside cats (I still didn't know he was deaf) and figured he would make a great barn cat. On the way home I stopped by my vet to ask about the fleas and ticks on such a young kitten and they said they would be happy to give him a bath and clean him up if I would leave him with them for the day so I did. They didn't charge me anything but they were the ones that figured out he was deaf. So he became an inside kitty. Communication was a little tricky but we figured out a sign langue that worked really well. A thumbs up with a smile meant "Good Kitty". Thumbs down with a frown meant "Bad Kitty". A come here motion with your hand and arm meant "Come Here". A hand straight out showing the palm meant "Stop". Now I really don't know if Willard really understood the sign langue but at times it looked like he did. He was a very happy, loving cat but he was also sickly from the start. Upset stomachs. Looking like he was tired a lot of the time. He never got very big and always looked thin. He passed away in his sleep. He was a great cat and both of your little kittys look like great ones too!!!
