November 6, 2004 I went to go pick up 2 kittens to bring home with
me. Shadow had gone to the RB in July of that year, and I wasn't anxious to add another furry baby into the house right away. He left a big hole in my heart, along with the other big hole. Sam...
In October I received an email from a girl I work with, and she sent it to about 6 of us cat people. Another co-worker had a friend who found a litter of 4 kittens under his shed. He had seen the mother a few times, but when the kittens were estimated at about 5 weeks old, she stopped coming around. When I saw the pictures of the 4 stripey babies, my heart was stilled. LOL I emailed the couple that found them and told them I'd take a pair of the littermates. I had two cats at the time, Shamrock and Bonnie, and Shamrock was/is a very aggressive, very rough playing cat, though he was cat-friendly from the day I met him, so I didn't think adding a pair of kittens would be a problem for him. BUT, the kittens had to have the right purrsonalities. With the help of a friend who told me what to look for in the ones who would come home with me, I brought along a feather toy to see which of them were the boldest, the most playful. They were estimated to be 9 weeks old on the day I went. Two stood out; fearless. Scarlett and Rhett. Their littermates, Ashley and Michelle were playful, too, but they tended to run away when Rhett and Scarlett got excited and toppled over them. Almost from the start, Shamrock adored the kittens, and decided he was Mr Mom. The first vet visit for the kits required me to give them a DOB, so since they were estimated at 9 wks on Nov 6th, I gave them the birthday of Sept 1, 2004.
