Our 10-week old kittens arrived in early May. The breed, Siberian, hails from Russia, and contain lower than average levels of the FelD1 saliva protein that is the most common antigen for allergy sufferers. We wanted to honor their heritage, but the Naming of Cats is a difficult matter. We weren't satisfied with Russian boy names (do they look like Boris and Dimitri??), and so we settled on Tundra for the "lynx" grey-tinged one and Taiga for the whiter "flame point". They share the same father, but Tundra's mom was Taiga's mom's daughter, which makes them sort-of 3/4 brothers if you follow the shared chromosomes. So far they've been hyper but sweet little guys who have discovered the coziness of girls' beds.
