Giorgio (right) and Armani (left). For some reason, they're fascinated by the flash.

These 2 guys showed up in a cardboard box, hissing and scared to death. They were about 4 weeks old at the time.

As soon as they were let out inside, they took up hiding underneath a cabinet that was impossible for me to get at.

After many hours over 2 days, I managed to catch them and others nursed them back to health. With a lot of work, they stopped hissing, swatting, and shaking, and started to act like normal kittens (destroying everything in sight).

Their personalities are polar opposites. Giorgio will walk up to anyone, purr immediately after being touched, and never bring out his claws. Armani, on the other hand, is a one-person cat and will have nothing to do with strangers. He's the definition of a scaredy-cat. If you get ahold of him, he's nothing but tense muscles.

Despite their differences, they're inseparable.
