Our stray kittens are still with us as we hope and pray we can find a home for them. We are thinking mysterious packages sent to friends might be the answer but . . . I think they would know who was gifting them with an unwanted cat.
I have to admit that these two kittens are a feisty, cute pair of cats. I contrived a couple of hammocks to hang along the top of their kennel to give them more play area at the bottom of the kennel. They are like monkeys as they jump, climb, and slam around the cage. They are very alert . . . just leave the door ajar and you are soon hunting down shadow cats - now you see them, now you don't!
Escaped kittens have met their match, however, as our resident house cat, Marcella, only puts up with them in the corner of the kitchen. They step outside that limit and she chases them back into their assigned space. She is serious. They think she is great fun.
We hope to find homes for them soon. We would hate to have to take them to the animal shelter as cats are mostly put down due to overcrowding. It would be nice if more people would take responsibility for their pets and not abandon them in other people's neighborhoods.
Found this fun fabric when out shopping over the weekend and the best thing is that is comes in a variety of colors. Instantly, I knew it would be great for making 'tote bags with attitude'. You admire the sweet floral fabric and suddenly realize the message in the middle.
We still have the stray kittens but their time is running out. In spite of efforts, we still haven't found a home for them. People are picky and either want white paws, deep black, orange striped, etc. They fail to observe the feisty cuteness of this duet. The animal control shelter for our area doesn't have a good vibe. One week, they put down something like 50 cats without giving them a chance to be seen. From what I've been told, they aren't gentle about it, either. If a home doesn't turn up, we may take them to our vet and have the matter dealt with in a humane matter . . . but I hope it doesn't come to that as they are darling, intelligent little beings that would make wonderful house cats and friends.
In the spirit of the good news, I took time to work on various sewing projects including a tote bag with machine embroidered pictures of Pope John Paul II. I discovered the ornate fabric on a jaunt to the fabric warehouse, yesterday, and realized it would be a good background for the embroidery. My trick to matching the colors of the bag so well to the frames on the pictures of the Pope? I just used the backside of the tote bag fabric and it was a perfect blend.
