Who is the bravest?

Day 5 for the rescue cats and time to let them explore a bit more of the house. They have been restricted to one room (the conservatory) until now.  After an hour or so I eventually found Merlin , the boy cat, hiding behind the piano. Meanwhile Mindy, his sister had checked out the downstairs and had ventured upstairs.

We are having to go slowly with them because they have lived in a cage for the last 7 months, waiting for a permanent home. They spent their first 5 months of life being bottle fed and getting lots of love , which fortunately means they are used to being handled and are very happy to sit on your lap.
