Pryderi and Boudicca came from a litter of five which was found abandoned on the doorstep of my vet's office in late January, 2007. The kittens were about three months old at the time, and the staff at the office were looking for homes for them. I had lost three cats to illness in the preceding few months, and thought it would be cheerful to have kittens around the house again, so I adopted two of them.

Pryderi is a bit smaller than his sister, and much more shy. He was a little bit afraid of me at first, but after some gentle talk and petting he started to gain confidence, and exhibited a remarkably loud purr. His shyness was limited to people; he was very friendly and outgoing with the adult cats, and soon charmed several of them into playing with him. Although he still gets a bit nervous if I approach him while he's on the floor (humans are big!), he's quite friendly if he's up on something, and loves to have his head rubbed.
