Kitties!

If you couldn't guess from my clever kitty ring clue yesterday, we got two new kitties!!! We have a giant hole in our hearts and a quiet house since the meow-ligator passed away. We had been planning to wait until after our Mexico trip to get a new kitty, but the other day when we were looking at a picture of two cats and I jokingly said to John "Can I have 2 kitties?" I think he surprised himself when he said yes, and we started talking about it. Two would mean that we wouldn't feel so bad leaving on vacation (as we tend to do) and come on, kitties are fun. We took a trip to the Humane Society and ended up coming home with these lovely ladies.
The black and white cat is the daughter of the other one and is very attached to her. She is super shy and is going to take a while to come out of her shell. They came from a home situation where the man had a stroke and then stayed with a brother for a while, but it didn't work out with his cats. and then to the Humane Society (which is a great place, but the kitties are crowded in there). So we will have a bit of an adjustment period. The good news is that once we get them both together on the couch, sometimes after a trip on my hands and knees to the very smallest hiding spot in my closet, they turn into perfect little kitties.
We're still working on names... For now, they're Kitty.

This makes me so happy and proud of you guys. You make such good parents. I think you should name mama kitty "Kim" b/c you don't have enough Kim's in your life.
