The kittens




Okay, we met the kittens and we did not pass. Are you surprised? They were so adorable and so innocent and so loving that we could not resist. They need a home and we have a home to share. The tricky part was deciding which ones to bring home. There were 5 of them - 2 white males, 2 black females, and 1 black male. We spent nearly an hour holding them and playing with them. We finally chose a longer-haired black female who is spunky and playful and a sweet shorter-haired white male who is sweet and cuddly. We are still debating names, but we're leaning towards literary names from To Kill a Mockingbird. The girl is spunky like Scout and the boy is timid like Boo. That's what we're thinking right now. If you have suggestions, send them our way.
We can't bring them home just yet. They still need their shots and we still have a Disney vacation to go on, but we're picking them up the day after we return. In the meantime, they are with a very loving family who just adores animals. These are the folks who rescued them from an abandoned house and they questioned us some about our intentions for the kittens. They want to make sure the babies are going to the right home, not just a home. That makes me feel that this is indeed the nudge from God (and Lucy) to move on.
