Good-bye Kittens

I have been really bad about posting lately...it seems like there is just never enough minutes in the day. Here is a picture of all of the kittens. They all have left and gone to their new homes. The poor momma cat has been very sad the past couple of days and has been meowing and searching everywhere for them. It is very sad to watch. It has been a lot of fun having the babies around! The kids enjoyed playing with them and watching them grow!

Youngest Grandma Ever

Yesterday I became a 29 year old grandma or so my dad tells me. So that would make him a very young great grandpa. Our cat had her kittens yesterday. She had 5 all white babies. Maybe someone out there with really good eyes can help me tell the kittens apart. As of right now they all look the exact same.

I can't imagine nursing more than one baby at a time. Poor mommy! She just lays there as she gets mauled. They climb all over her!

It is funny to watch the kittens just climb all over, under and around each other, completely oblivious to everything around them.

I took a picture of one next to my phone to show how small/big they are. And here is the proud Papa. He has been doing so good. I am very impressed with how he has been through all of this.

Kitten! Kitten! Who Has the Kitten??

My dad caught some a wild kitten in his garden and we decided that we would take it off of his hands to help solve our pet problem for now. Ryan and I decided that we would try it out and see how his allergies do with having the cat around. The kids were so excited when it came to our house. 24 hours later my Dad caught a second kitten and so we (mostly me) decided that the kittens would have more fun being together.


The kids are enjoying having the kittens around. However, Ryan's allergies are not. We have had the kittens in the house since we got them but have kept them in the bathroom and the laundry room for the most part with an outing to explore the rest of the house a tiny bit a day. This past Saturday I had Ryan help me clean out the bathroom that the cats have been "living" in. He had a pretty severe allergic reaction to them and a pretty good scare. His throat closed up, his heart started racing (took about an hour to slow back down), eyes red & puffy and watering, sneezing and he got red splotches all over his face. It was pretty scary. I spent most of the day cleaning the house trying to get all evidence of the cats to disappear. We are now trying to have them live in the garage and in the yard. We still haven't named the kittens due to lack of good choices and we weren't sure how long they would stick around once they were free to roam outside. We have a little girl and a little boy. Jenessa wants to name them Snowball and Dirty Snowball because one is mostly all white and the other one is more beige (Siamese looking).
