Our city of Lindon prides itself on being "a little bit of country" and that is one of the things we like about it. We love watching people saddling up their horses and riding around town. We love to see my neighbors chickens that roam our yard. We love the wild quail that nest somewhere nearby every year and come waddling through our yard daily with their babies in tow. It is just adorable! Notice I said we love watching all this, we just don't want to participate in it any more than that. I want no responsibility for pets whatsoever. My stress level just skyrockets when the pet thing comes up. But people seem to think that because the Guinns don't have any pets, they are the best ones to take all the strays in the neighborhood. We've had several stray cats and dogs forced upon us but they never last more than 3 days. Allergies, pet hair, poop, what to do with them when you vacation-- how do people do it?
And then these little munchkins showed up in our yard 2 days ago. Just about melted my ice cold heart. There is a field next door to us where the neighborhood cats seem to nest (is that what cats do?). The mom doesn't seem to be around now and some motorcycle riding scared them into our yard. The kids flipped! Unfortunately, they can only hold them after popping an allergy pill and then applying antihistamine drops in their eyes. But they are more than willing to do this for some cuddling time.
I doubt they will be around long term, but I told the kids to enjoy it while it lasts.
Anyone need a kitten? (Please?)
Devin fell asleep with Butterscotch (or was it Caramel?) after a long day in the sun.

Oh, come on it's not that bad. Just hair everywhere, kitty litter to change, neutering/spaying, feeding, playing, brushing! I'm sure the kids can handle it!
Oh lucky you!!! Yes they are very cute - unfortunately kittens grow into cats and then they lose their charm! (That and some become psycho - from personal experience) good luck!
Well.....as for me.......I've been thinking "cocker spaniel" and AWFUL lot lately! I KNOW I would regret it -- for ALL the usual reasons. If I do get one, it's going to be one that looks just like Victor!!
oh, you HAVE to keep them!! Our cat Gracie can be boring, but they are not as hard as my mom says!
Just clean the kitty litter every night, brush them, (which i never do). Bu they can be really cute, even when they grow into cats! But you will love it when they sleep with you!
oh, and I would keep them as an inside cat!
