Freckles and Brownie are definitely coming along. Freckles thinks I'm his new mom, and Brownie has been wondering why his brother isn't scared of me. He's getting comfortable enough to play with Freckles within a couple of feet of me and last night actually came up on the couch and fell asleep three feet away from me, next to his brother.
So I'm confident that both of them will do well, whether or not I ultimately adopt them.
I'm less confident of the quartet in my living room. They are still very shy, though Lucy, whom I retrieved from the vet last night is almost as friendly and receptive as Freckles when I can reach her. She seems to have picked up some reticence/scaredness from her siblings last night but I'm quite hopeful that she will play the role with them that Freckles plays with Brownie.
Pictures soon.
