This is a picture we took of Mathilda the day we brought her home, January 6, 2010. She weighed 1 lb 3 oz.
This is a picture I just took of her today, March 21, 2010. As of last Saturday, she weighed exactly 4 lbs. She has quadrupled in size!
We are still trying to decide what color her eyes are. Maybe we should call them hazel. Our boys' eyes change between yellow and green. And sometimes hers look more yellow than anything, but usually they are this coppery/yellow/green color. I don't know how to describe it. They were grey when we got her.
Maxwell apparently got jealous and walked over and literally layed down on top of Sampson! I wasn't fast enough to get a picture before Sampson had had enough and bolted.
Having gotten what he wanted, Maxwell settled in with Mathilda at his side. I think they are getting used to having her around.
Later in the evening, we were sitting around watching a movie and Mathilda snuggled up with me. Look how sweet this kitty is!
She is really learning so fast! She has learned that if she comes running when she hears the icemaker, she will get to play with ice. She understands the word "NO!" She knows that if she scratches her scratching post she will get a treat or two or three depending on how we feel if she finishes her treat and then scratches again! We are still working on teaching her not to scratch and bite when she's not getting her way! She really is an accelerated learner! She has made our lives a little bit more chaotic, but we all love her!

She was sleeping all cuddled up with Sampson last Sunday night. Isn't that the cutest thing ever?
Maxwell was chilling out on the back of the couch.
