The Kitties

Last Wednesday I decided to come through on the promise (bribe) of kitties for the kiddies.  Karryn wanted to make sure we rescued the cats...so off we headed to the Humane Society.  After looking at more than a dozen cats I mentioned that these would be outside cats.  Our selection was immediately reduced to 3.  They had come in together and were accustomed to being outside, but were a little wild.  Karry knew she wanted a gray kitty...the white one fell in love with her and snuggled into her chin.  Bren was holding the gray one like a sack of potatoes and it liked it.  The worker said it just proves that you don't choose a cat, they choose you.  So, we came home with a gray cat and went back the next day for the white one.  As soon as Karry took the cat to the basement it went and hid under the stairs for a day....Karry cried.  We went to Petco and bought them the constant running water bowl, their own litter boxes, a heated bed, food and treats (they didn't know they had just won life's lottery).  When Jim got home and went to see the kitties in the basement, Cuddles, the white kitty, hissed, scratched and bit him in one fell swoop..............the kitties were immediately banished to the garage.  Cuddles, the lazy bum, and Bella the explorer have settled down and are getting happier in the garage.  The next step is outside.............. hopefully soon.
