Stella and the Count

We have two new additions to our household.  Stella is a white and brown semi-longhaired cat who is affectionate but a bit reserved.  She loves to snuggle on my lap for short periods and is becoming more vocal, chirruping greetings at us when we enter the room.  The Count is a sweet black shorthaired cat who was pretty reserved at the shelter.  Still, these two cats lived together at the shelter as close friends, so we decided to take them both.  Once we got him home, the Count's demeanor changed entirely.  He is extremely playful and loves to chase moving objects.  He is also very affectionate and forward, jumping up on any lap he can find and staying until we want to stand up.  He especially loves Brian because Brian will stay in his chair for as long as the Count wants to snuggle.  Stella is 12 months old, while the Count is 10 months.  They seem to be adapting quite well to our house (not upset by the ferret smell, as far as I can tell).
