Our household has increased by two

We collected our pussycats from the PACT animal sanctuary today. Would you like to see them?
Sable

Sable is a very beautiful, soft little cat, but she is not very photogenic. She is extremely wary, and although she will tolerate being stroked, she doesn't seem to understand why it is done.
On arriving in the Library, she promptly found her way to the beanbag we had snuggled between two sets of shelves, and insinuated herself partly on the beanbag and partly on the shelf. When next seen, if that's the right way to put it, she was hidden in the cardboard box in the next alcove. After that, I could not see her at all until it occurred to me that she was hiding in non-fiction. Behind the books. And at the moment she is in a little black puddle by the door to the garden. I think she may teleport from one secure corner to the next.
Princess Fluffykins

This pretty little girl is a lot more confident, and has spent much of the day prowling about, although she was the one who initially discovered that it was possible to hide behind the large volumes in the bottom shelf. I was a bit startled by an odd rumbling sound as she pushed the sturdy books off the shelf. She has sniffed me a few times and even emitted the occasional noise, and has allowed herself to be a little bit tempted by a feathery thing on a string.
She is also making herself at home with Beast's computer.

They were utterly silent and calm (or petrified?) on the way home, a 45-minute car journey - which was weird, as I have been used to heartrending wails of protest from a cat in transit.
