Feathers of Hope

Four Kitten Update

Diego is helping me with this blog as I write though some of his text needs a little editing. He is also very interested in pens, so I think we have the makings of a literate kitty here. Anyway, it's official: we're keeping both Diego and Charlie. Our landlord is letting us keep a pair and we signed the adoption certificate for them this past Sunday. Our cats are now bona fide.

We're having a great deal of fun having them around the house. I've never had a cat before. Since I've been a cat lover since at least age 6, this is quite a joy for me. I've always lived in a situation where people were allergic, cats weren't wanted, or cats weren't allowed.

We saw Diego and Charlie's sister this evening. She's grown quite a bit, though is much smaller than her big brothers, and is feisty as ever. The interesting thing is that she's developing a grey undercoat to her black fur, coming in across her back especially. She's also getting a grey coon tail pattern contrasting with the black.

Up in Woodland, Louie, the orange kitten we adopted out a month ago, is doing very well in his new home. His family loves him dearly and think he's going to grow up to be a huge cat.
