Kittens on our doorstep
Who could possibly resist these little guys? Are they the cutest things you've ever seen in your whole life (minus your own children...and they are maybe even cuter than that!).
So, we have had a stray cat sneak into our garage for a few months eating our cat food for Ebony (who is 14 yrs old now). Ebony was not having any of it and she's loosing her hair on her tail because of the stress. Anyway...Stray Cat was apparently a mama because she brought each one of her babies literally to our doorstep. She was even peeking around the corner when we came out as though she knew we would help them. Matt, being the animal lover he is, immediately said we have to help them. But, they got spooked (probably by his big new muscles from working out 5 days a week) and ran around the corner. Poor Matt had to move our whole wood pile to get them out from where they were hiding in between the logs (good thing for the work outs huh?)
Then the decision: what do we do with 4 kitties? Of course the kids want to just keep them all, but I just can't deal with one more living thing to take care of.
We were on our way to the pound this morning when we drove by Olympia pet hospital on the Westside and I told Matt to pull over and I would check to see if maybe they would take them. Matt said he couldn't go in because he had to put Olivia to sleep there last summer and it was too much for him. So, I go in and the sweetest guy immediately says, we'll take them! The other girl he worked with started scolding him saying he didn't have authorization from the manager. In my head I was telling her to shut up. I guess it worked because he won and they took them and promised to find good homes for them.
What a wonderful day. Now, what to do about poor mama stray cat? I will keep you posted.
