My Boys Are growing Up (sniff)....

One of my cats brought a half dead gopher into my house yesterday, and played with it like it was a catnip ball. I threw the gopher out the front door with both the cats rushing after it. I haven't checked my porch to see if they have eaten it, but at least one of them is a hunter.

Mongo and Condalezza Mice

Free Loaders Pt 4

Well here are the two free loaders. The gray one is almost definitely Mongo. I still haven't decided on the orange one. Nothing is jumping out at me yet.


Update 8/21/06: I'm all but decided about Mongo. But now I'm thinking about Taggart for the orange one.

Update 8/24/06: Oops. It's looking like the gray one is a girl. So now I'm thinking Condolezza Mice for her, and Mongo for the orange one.

Free Loaders Pt. 3

Well, it's looking more and more like the big gray one will be known as "Mongo". I still haven't decided on the little orange one...right now the two contenders are Gabby and Chumley.

Free Loaders Pt. 2

Well I fed the little runts some sliced ham, and some tuna tonight. They went nuts for it. Both of them are really imprinting on me. The little orange one actually purred twice tonight. I've got to come up with some names soon...

Free Loaders!

I got home from work this Monday, headed into my computer room, and began reading my mail. I had a link from my Mom to a site about the care of kittens. I sent it back to her to ask what the hell was up. I get a phone call an hour and a half later, and she tells me that there are two kittens in my living room. I go out there, and sure enough, there are two mewling kittens in a cat carrier. Flea ridden to boot.

Seems Mom had taken my niece and nephew to the pound to visit, and someone brought in six kittens too young, so they were going to be killed. Next thing I know, I've got two freeloaders, my Mom has two and so does my brother.

I have always had cats as pets, and I have become resigned to this.....but......
