Kittens . . . again!

 Well, we had a few months of no kittens. We were so happy when we found homes for Dunder and Mifflin. They were never our kittens to begin with yet we couldn't let them stay out in the heat and starve.

Yesterday, the same little boys that brought us Dunder and Mifflin, had another two kittens in hand. They were about the same age as the last boarders and even cuter. It was cold at night and, again, we couldn't let them be bumped around by three energetic little boys and then left to fend for themselves at night. They are residing in a kennel in our garage.

The first few days are always misleading as they are still getting their bearings. One of them is already pretty comfortable and pushing the limits of his confinement. The little boys who so 'kindly' inflicted them upon us sternly informed us that they had already given the kittens names. The gray one, we were told, is Mittens. Mittens is completely gray - no white paws. I didn't question the decision. The black kitten was christened Oscar.

Given the timeline between the births of the last two kittens we had and these and the fact that they look very much like Dunder and Mifflin, I'm thinking some family has a mother cat that they haven't bothered to have spayed. To make matters worse, it seems they feel free to abandon the babies in our neighborhood. Sad commentary on people today. If they can't be kind to a tiny, helpless kitten, you have to wonder about their consideration of people.

Off to post the fact that we, again, have free kittens!
