They are cute! Good for you for getting a pair. People don't realize it's much easier to raise 2 kittens rather than one.
Nice action shot in the litter box.

Yes, I definitly wanted to have a pair. I adopted them from the local animal shelter. They are brothers. They have a "better with a buddy program". You pay one kitten and they give you the second for free. I think it is a great program and I was glad to adopt from them as opposed to looking in the paper.

FYI: You should give them separate dishes for food and water. It's much easier to keep their water clean that way.
Cute little red menaces. Males?

Awwww...
I'm still trying to convince one of my brothers to take in a shelter cat or two. He's got one now, who could probably use some company...
Edit: interesting coat patterns -- one looks like an interrupted tabby stripe, the other a herringbone?

Somebody told my sister ages ago that cats prefer that their water NOT be near their food, and that one way to get your cat to drink more water is to put the water bowl someplace away from the food bowl.
This rang true for me, as our 2 previous cats would always drink out of the dog's water bowl instead of their own. We stopped putting a water bowl down for them. We do have a bowl of water in another room for the current cat but he usually drinks out of the dog's bowl anyhow.

Does the dog get annoyed does he not even notice?
