I hoped they're "fixed" females or you may start waking to the serenades of amourous toms.

The complement to that is if they are males, they'll be bashing themselves against the windows and climbing the curtains to get out--it's Spring, don't ya know.
Give them a couple weeks, they'll have taken over and you'll have wished they stayed under the couch.
