“Holding this soft, small living creature in my lap this way, though, and seeing how it slept with complete trust in me, I felt a warm rush in my chest. I put my hand on the cat's chest and felt his heart beating. The pulse was faint and fast, but his heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small body with all the restless earnestness of my own."

Quoted for it's beauty. Murakami has a thing on cats I think. They are also featured as characters in "Kafka on the Shore".

A heads up everyone. Unfortunately my camera is out of battery and I can't find the charger so there ain't no pictures or videos for now (I will try to post one tomorrow).
They are developing fantastic. They have been playing and active a lot, when we use a string to play they are hitting it hard, which means that they have adapted to the restricted depth perception. Mafalda (the sister that will probably stay with us) is a more adventures type. Every time we open the door of the bedroom she dashes out to explore the house. During this explorations she has met our evil dark overlord Bell-chan.
And that comes the first kind-of negative part, Bell-chan does not like her. Every time she sees Mafalda she gets angry, hissing a lot. BUT, and this is the good part, so far she hasn't attacked Mafalda. She gets close, sniffs her, hiss, but do not attack, which is a good thing. We are keeping them separated though for now, since Mafalda is still too small. I hope they get along or at least respect each other enough to live together.
The second negative part is... I DON'T WANT TO LET EITHER OF THEM GO!!!!! I fell in love completely with these babies, and they are so cute, so fantastically cute together that I would love to keep both. But we can't, the apartment is too small for 3 cats =( And also I do not want to separate them. It is so beautiful watching them play\train\fight Brazilian Jiujitsu (seriously, they could give some classes to a lot of MMA fighters) together. They sleep side-by-side warming each other. One helps groom the other. It is beautiful. And now, my sister-in-law said she can have both, she could keep both safe and sound. And logic says we should let her. But the heart wants it differently.
MAISON ABREU: Lair of Abreu, you know, that guy below. Do not mistake this for other Maisons or Houses or even Abreus.
I do look good on this chair, dont I?

In this case Logic needs to prevail...
Keep them. Its going to take some time, you might need a full day but slowly get the little ones and Bell-chan know each other one at a time. It took us many days to join Napoleon and Maria. Maria reacted much like yours did, but with time she took care of Napoleon.
The only logical thing you can do is keeping them, if not, as hard as it is you must let your sister-in-law take them. Both, because them seam well bonded.
Though choice, I wouldnt like to be in your shoes.
Well, it's quite simple. All you have to do is move to a different town, and don't tell your sister-in-law your new address or phone number.
I thought killing her would be easier...
Oh, yeah, if she's burly, then moving your furniture without her help could be a lot of work.
OK, how about this: pry the last two numbers of your address off your apartment building, and glue them back on in the opposite order. Then when she comes to get one of the cats, talk to her without opening the door: "No, I'm quite sure this is 6254, are you sure you aren't thinking of 6245?"
No, wait: get some plywood & black spray paint. Use the spray paint to make what looks like smoke damage above your door & windows, and then nail the plywood over the windows with the plywood, to make it look like your apartment was gutted in a fire & then sealed up by the fire department to keep kids out. Then, don't answer the door or your phone.
So that she doesn't run into you in public, we ought to be able to arrange some groceries-for-GeekGold thing where a different Chit Chatter will come by your house every week with some bags of groceries & cat food; just post a list of what you guys need, whether you prefer 2-ply toilet paper, etc., and we'll get this done.
