We woke up Saturday morning to the sound of kittens outside in our yard. I had actually heard them Friday afternoon and in the middle of the night, but didn't think much of it. We were getting ready to head out on our family bike ride/run and heard them. One kitten was found inside the storage compartment in the hose cart and the other kitten was inside a cooler we had in the yard. Clearly, somebody didn't want these kittens, knew we had kids at our house, and left them to us. Not nice. Those of you who know me know I am not an animal fan, don't like cats and am allergic to them. Well, my heart broke when I saw these poor little things shivering and meowing like crazy, probably starving to death and pretty scared. We gave them some milk and a place to sleep. After our exercise we went to Pet Smart to get some advice. Steve and the boys really wanted to keep them, but I had to say no. I did, however, let them keep the kittens for the weekend and will take them to the adoption center at Pet Smart on Monday. We bought kitten food and kitty litter, made them, a home, and the kids play with them often. The kids are getting a real taste for what it takes to take care of a pet.
We gave the kittens milk right away. Poor things were shivering like crazy.
Not something you'll see too often...me holding cats. But these girls are cute.
This was fascinating to the boys.
Scott named the one on the left "Hairy" and Noah named the one on the right "Meller". He doesn't know why. They are both girls.
So cute!
The excitement was just too much for Joshua. He passed out on the chair.
