New Additions!

For my birthday Ron agreed to get me a kitten. Typically, I couldn't decide between two kittens at the shelter so we ended up bringing home both of them. They are such sweeties and I love watching them play.



This is Scout. he is about ten weeks old and I fell in love with his eyes which are the color of the Carribean sea. He is a polydactal and has extra toes on all of his feet which give him the appearance of having catcher's mitts for paws. He is a wild little thing who already loves playing with the dogs.




This is Taser. She is an itty-bitty kitty about six weeks old and I can tell she is going to be a beautiful cat. She loves to cuddle and will walk up to us purring wanting to be picked up. She even wants to snuggle with the dogs. We have a lap cat in the making here.





Taser, surprisingly, is not afraid of Nathan even though he squeals loudly when he sees the kittens. He is quite gentle with them and likes to pat Taser on her head when she walks up to him. The kittens are confined to the sunroom and we go "visit the kitties" several times a day.




Our other kitties don't want to meet the new kittens yet but that is normal. We have four now and I know that sounds ridiculous but we have the ability to give homes to a couple of kittens who needed a family. I encourage everyone who has room in their hearts and their homes to adopt a dog or cat from the shelter. They add so much joy to a home.

Aww! Your little kitties are gorgeous! Your little Scout looks a little like one of my kitties, Aeris. Ours is part Siamese, hence the similar markings, dark ears and tail, blue eyes. I wonder if yours is part Siamese, too. Ours definately has the Siamese personality. She's very tenacious and will keep after something even having been told no and swatted and sprayed with water and scruffed. LOL, we love her anyway, but she is a naughty one. You can see her picture here if you want to. It was taken back at Christmas time.
Congratualtions on your new babies, they are precious!
