Kitt'ee Love

We have finally been dragged kicking and screaming from the fish bowls and thrown headlong into the life of a real family with furry pets. In our defense we ultimately succumbed to the three B's.....

B for Boredom......There's nothing to do, there's no one to play with....etc... we're just stuck here in this lame hammock with only sugar free Popsicles to entertain us, woe, woe woe.

B for Blackmail......Hand over the kitt eee ( Jora can only say kitty as two distinct words) nice and slow and nothing happens to your bed. We'll return it just like we took it. Think carefully now, about how it would be to reclaim your former territory......

B for Belligerence......We may be reasonable parents but enough is enough already. Let her torture a cat for a change and give us a break~

**********************************************

So now running rampantly about our house are three, that's not a typo, three little scamps who love to chase, torture, scare and strangle the adorable little kitten's I found on Craigslist.

It's all in the name of love....Jora tells me several times a day that she loves her kitt ee and that her kitt ee loves Jora. The kids each picked their kitten and it is funny to see that now the kittens are choosing their kid and they are much better at choosing a good temperament match than the humans were. Ultimately the kitt ees will be outdoor cats but we are giving them a little leeway to get used to the house, yard and neighborhood.

Here is Jacob with Princess and Tiger. Jake is wearing the disturbing smirk that accompanies any win in his column.

Jacob has to have Tiger (formerly Tigger) because he was at school when we picked up the kitt ees and the girls had made their choices long before he got home.

Julia claimed Miss Fuzz as she is the only girl. She then renamed her on day two as Princess and today she and Jora have been calling her Cinderella. Julia loves having a kitten but not generally touching the kitten. She likes to pet her but not carry her around. We had to make her sit down for this picture and you can see she is thrilled.

Here is Jacob with Shadow. Shadow is Jora's kitt ee but since she is not fast enough or smart enough to catch him so she is always packing around Princess and sometimes Tiger. Shadow is so black that when he curled up on Julia's black backpack Jacob and I looked for him for twenty minutes before we realized we had walked right past him several times.

Jora's pictures need no explanations.
