And here they are. Meet Fah Chai (prince) and Fah Ying (princess), also known as Banshee (on the left) and Mottley. We decided to give them both Thai and western names, but call them by their western names. Banshee was named after his insistent and constant meowing for no apparent reason. After the first time we saw Mottley we kept referring to her as Motley Crue and this eventually became Mottley - a combination of the words "mottled" and "motley" referring to her colouring and unknown heritage.
Both babies were sick with cat-flu and rail-thin when they came to us, but luckily we have a small veterinary practice next to our village with an incredibly caring and friendly young veterinarian who did all their check-ups for free. I only had to pay for their medication. They have since been eating like champions and wrecking our house so all is right in the world once more.
