The reveal of Sian has begun

Arthur and Gryff are VERY curious. Sian did the cutes little crab walk up to them. There was no sound of stress or aggression from either boy.

The same can't be said about Madoc. He did some hissing and a little growl, and then ran away. I gave him LOTS of scritches and reassuring words but I don't think he's buying it, yet.

Carys hasn't venture up, yet, to meet her auntie.

I'm sure Madoc will settle down. He behaved the same way towards Arthur and his siblings but not with Carys, Space Boy and Moon Dust. He might think that's an expected reaction to a tiny kitten because that's how Sophie behaved when she first saw him.

So the next phase of this adventure begins. Wish me luck.

It must be such fun having these adorable little critters to play with and cuddle.

Madoc, Gryff, Arthur and Carys and, for now, Baby Sian.

They do keep me busy, and it is a good kind of busy.

Madoc finally gave her a sniff but is still grumpy. Arthur gave a few half hearted hisses but neither of them swatted, which I take as a good sign.

Gryff and Carys still haven't 'engaged'.

She's back in the room, hopefully sleeping. I'll head up to spend some time with her, later.

I wonder if it is the small size that triggers the uncertainty in the bigger kidcats. When I brought Carys and her siblings inside, they were about 4 months old and there were absolutely no problems.
