  • Kittens appeared on our doorstep!

    Hi guys, I thought you animal lovers out there might appreciate this cool story. I used to have a sweet little siamese cat, Misha, who was killed by a car in 2002. She was almost 8 years old and I loved her like she was my first child. Anyway, I refused to get another kitten for a really long time because she was that special to me.

    Well, I guess two little adorable kittens thought I needed to let her go and love another kitten again. On Saturday, my hubby was outside and heard a "mew". He came in with the most beautiful little black and white kitten I have ever seen! He looks to be about 10-12 weeks old. He is totally sweet and loving, so he has been raised around people. He was completely covered in fleas and a bit thin. I immediately bathed him (punture wounds on my arms to prove it) and took him to a room to sequester him from the rest of the animal family. I put flea meds on him and set him up with everything he needed.

    Fast-forward one day....We named the new baby "Tux" and he has been brought upstairs and is flea-free. He settled in nicely, and even gets along well with the dogs! Now it's Sunday evening, and my hubby comes inside with an adorable little grey tiger kitten! WHAT?! Do we have a sign outside our house that says "Humane Society?" Anyway, he looks to be about the same age, so...are Tux and the new kitty brothers? Were they dumped by our house by the biggest jerk on the planet? We took the new kitty immediately downstairs to the "quarantine room" and set him up with flea meds and all the needed items. We even took Tux down to see how he reacted with him. They sniffed noses then started purring very loudly and rubbed up to each other, so I think they know each other! Both are extremely sweet and wonderful, couldn't ask for better behaved kittens! So, now I have two little kittens to cuddle instead of just one! Here's a few pics of Tux, I don't have any yet of the other kitty.

    Awe, very cute!!! I have sibling cats, that are adults now, and they still get along, play together, & sleep together. I think they really like each other's company and it keeps them young and friendly. I highly recommend it!

    Good luck with the fleas. If they keep coming back, get some Frontline Plus. It'll get rid of them on the cats & in your home in days. I couldn't live without the stuff (nothing else works as well).

    Okay, kisses to the kitties. Have fun, Humane Society!

      Thanks! We have lots of animals in the house (5 dogs and now 3 cats), and they all get regular flea meds (fleas in the house is very bad!)

              Your Misha sent Tux and the grey kitty to you to love. I believe in things like that. Congratulations on your 2 new kitties!

              My George died this past March - I refuse to get another kitty. I said when George sends us a kitty and it comes to his window to be let in - we'll have a new kitty. I'm still waiting

                  Thanks, everyone, it has been a fun few days! Tamariah, I am sorry about George, too.
                  I like to think that Misha sent these two sweeties to me too.

                        I heard that if you cut up a flea collar and put it in your vacuum cleaner bags, it will kill any fleas and their eggs and you won't have a problem with fleas in the house!

                        Have fun with your kitties.

                          That's wonderful G-Mom!! Definitely, animals adopt us - we don't actually adopt them. Heee. We adopted a dog from a rescue org b/c my dd and dh wanted one. Guess who's dog it is?? He took one look at me and fell in love or something. We have two cats as well. They are not related, but we got them at the same time (fully grown) and just made them live together. They circled each other for a few days but now they are the best of friends. Critters are so wonderful, aren't they? sigh.
