Newest Family Members

We have adopted two kittens.

With the loss over of the last year of Carly and Mrs. Jones, we had some openings on the team. But we wanted to wait until Miri was a little older. Mommy's goal was to get two (so they would play well with each other) and somewhat young (so they would adapt to our household and busy-ness more easily). Daddy's goal was to make sure they were easy to tell apart. So they came from two different litters, but they are very close in age.

Meet the kitties...


Pretty little Purrl PussyCat (Aleaha's cat).


Adorable little Julius Von BearCat (called "Jules" by Miri). He's Miri's main kitty.


Miri offers Purrl a bite of apple. A nice gesture, but not exactly what she was after.


Miri reads books to Julius BearCat. Hmm, perhaps "Good Dog Carl" wasn't the best choice??


Purrl is very patient and calm.


Aaaaahhh, pat the kitty....


Love the kitty!

Aleaha and her kitty share an affection for the same spot on the couch. Fortunately, her kitty is very patient and loves to be held/smothered.
What exactly does Miri think of the kitties? She says, "Hooray!"

These kitties are, as Daddy says, "farts in a skillet". They move dangerously fast around the house. Can't get clear pictures unless they are sleeping, they move so fast. Definitely tripping hazards! If Miri sees one, she immediately wants to know where the other "une" is. ("Une" or "oon" is her word for one, or sometimes for "you"....as in "I love une.")
But when she sees Jules, she says "Mine!", loud and clear.
