our kittens are here

You may notice there are three kittens in these photos instead of the two we originally were going to bring home.  In the end, we couldn't leave behind one sibling especially after they had all bonded.   We are all getting used to the idea that we have three cats living in our outbuilding.  They were skittish the first day but after just three days they are running to us, sleeping in our laps and very playful.  There are two girls and a boy.  The girls are Tim Riggins and Tinker Bell (Addie's cat-she named her) and the boy  is Pepper.  Pepper is the reserved one.  He's still deciding if this new arrangement is to his liking.  Tink and Tim are already batting at toys and snuggling in our arms.

Meet Tim Riggins and Pepper

I never thought I'd say this, ever...we have cats.  We just picked out not one kitten but two and if I had my druthers we'd bring home all three.

They are going to be outdoor cats living in our outbuilding with the hopes that they will keep the rats away, especially during rainy season.  We get to bring them home in a month when they are done weening from their mother.

Aren't they precious?  Justin and I were happy to see how good the girls were with them. Little girls and kittens go hand and hand.

Addie named this one Pepper

                                                           this is the one we aren't bringing home...yet!

Tim Riggins is the runt and Justin said he had to come home with us after they bonded.  Little Timmy (as Addie has decided to call him) liked to bury his head in the crook of your arm and I admit, it was endearing.
