Both of the boys had been asking about a kitten. Well I love animals and I can't resist that! Frankie (the cat) and Josie (the dog) are great pets and I didn't think it would be any big deal to get another baby kitty. They are super easy!
Unless you rescue TWO of them....
I justified this insane move by saying now each boy would have his own cat. Frankly, I am just weak. They were the last 2 left from their litter of 5. They were 8 weeks old and had been together alone the last 2 weeks and I couldn't bear to break them up. What would happen to the other one? What if they didn't get adopted, too?
Ugh, weakling!!
Steve said he knew all along that we would end up with both of them. In fact, I recall him laughing out loud when I said we were only getting one of them.
The boys were THRILLED and Carter named his Mabel. She is the little gray one.
Kyle's is the big black male and his name is Lucky. He eats a LOT and his nickname is "fat cakes".
For Christmas I ended up with a crazy Cat Lady coffee mug. Everyone thought that was just HILARIOUS.
It was pretty funny and I did deserve it. I like it, too!

Cute Kitties! My kids are so deprived with our no pets allowed rule. I did cave and gave Parker some frogs for Christmas, but I doubt I could ever handle a dog. Maybe a cat. But not for a while. I am enjoying that Avery is now potty trained.
