OK, so I've had Lilo and Paton for about two weeks now, and they've warmed up to me quite a bit since my last journal entry. They're still pretty shy and hide/sleep during the day. Today I sent an email out to their original owner, the breeder she got them from, and the breeder who got us all together and told them how things were doing. Just a few minutes ago I got an email back from the owner... who just informed me that I had their names reversed. O.o I had been calling the gray one Lilo and the brown one Paton when it's the other way around.

The owner never really specified by picture who was who, but when the original breeder sent us pictures of their parents she said that Lilo looked like his gray father and Paton looked like his brown mother, so we had to assume that way. I remember the owner mentioned having to take Paton to the groomers to shave his back end, but the silver one--the one I thought was Lilo--was the one who was shaved. I dunno, I guess I just thought she was the one mixed up instead of me.

I've known of these cats for almost a month, and now I have to adjust to calling them different names. ... I had pondered the idea of renaming Lilo Leo before and kinda wished it was the brown one, because he looked more lionish. ... I'll see how he likes it. X3
