Kittens, Kittens, Kittens!

It's that time of year when kittens begin to show up here and there and every where! A dear friend of my came across an orange striped kitten at one of the homes she works at and asked me if we wanted it. Well we decided after losing our buddy of 17 years (a year ago), that we weren't going to get any more animals. Then my sister has a young black cat that showed up at our place and she said he looked just like our buddy, Star. I'm like "No Thanks". Guess she's having a hard time getting rid of him. She already has a beautiful cat called "Serena". Then when visiting at my Aunt and Uncles there were 3 or 4 kittens that had been abandoned, one was grey with blue eyes just gorgeous. But we have already set our minds as they cost money that we don't really have. Have any of you myLotters come across kittens? Picture by bing.com

Kittens are so sweet. We have two cats but I am always tempted to get another one.

@Happy2BeMe Yes kittens are so precious and I wished we could afford another one but it's just not in our budget. You have to take them to the vets and then all the other stuff. The biggest deterent is the litter box as we live in a small cottage and had to put the litter box in the laundry room right outside of the living room. This was when our buddy, Star was still alive. We had him for 17 years and lost him about a year ago. Any way his timing was incredible, when we would sit down to eat he would go to the bathroom and stink us out. I would have to scoop the poop so we could eat, ugh! Plus walking in the litter too is a turn off. But the joy Star brought made all the mess worth it! we love and miss him. I know he's waiting in heaven for us.

@Butchcass4 I scoop 4 boxes 5 times per day and what kills me is that I've got 1 cat that stands there and watches me scoop the box and when I'm done, he'll immediately get in the box.

I am a rescuer @Butchcass4 . I now have 16 cats. The recent rescue was in March when I saw a Siamese abandoned under a house down the road from me. She did have 2 kittens but I think the dogs across the road killed them. I started going up there feeding her daily and noticed the dogs were paying too much attention to her. I brought her home and 2 weeks later she gave birth to 4 kittens.

@Butchcass4 Thank you. I have a feeling I'll be in charge of the Rainbow Bridge and when I do, I promise to take good care of Star.

I hope they are able to find good homes. No, I haven't seen an uncommon number of kittens. I haven't seen any at all.

@just4him I feel I'm surrounded by people who have kittens and they all need homes. I pray the Lord will provide them for them. They are so precious, I would love to have on to snuggle with. We'll see what the Lord will do.
