Kittens!

The director of Nicholas's pre-school had a littler of 8 kittens. The mom was a calico and the dad was orange and white. We had been talking about either adopting a grown cat or getting 2 brother kittens. It was hard to resist the "Free Kittens" sign as I took Nicholas to school one day back in April. This is Tiger. He was the most laid back cat. He was such a doll. We chose his litter mate, Shadow, because they had been connected since birth (always playing and sleeping together). Tiger developed a really swollen abdomen and I took him to the vet only to find out he had F.I.P. We had to have him put down a week later. It was really, really sad.

Shadow is extremely laid back and docile. He lets us hold him like a baby. He is really sweet. Not wanting Shadow to be lonely, we got another one of his brothers and named him Cupid. There were two orange and white kittens left so Pam brought them back up to the pre-school. I took Patrick out early so he could pick out his new cat. Cupid is quite a little lover, too, but a bit more needy. If he is left in a room by himself he cries until we come and get him.
