I was outside reading while Timothy was riding his bike, and he yelled, "MOM, KITTENS!!"
Long story short, one of the strays had a litter under the neighbor's deck. She said they've been handling them, but not feeding them. She doesn't drive, so she can't take them anywhere. I offered to take them to the pound tomorrow, or to the pet store, if they'll take them.
Rumor has it that management around here has been catching and killing the strays, and they're big enough to run into the street. I figure their odds are better anywhere else. They're adorable, and all fell asleep on my chest, purring, after I gave them their first solid food.
I'd keep them if I could. Also, the little black one looks just like Stevie did, minus the gunk.

Management is killing strays? Isn't that illegal?
This is a rumor from the neighbor. Her brother does the painting though, so she MIGHT know what she's talking about. Maybe they just have them put down, I don't know.
Either way, just about anywhere's better than living on the street, where they'll most likely be run over.
They're SO sweet. God help me when I don't have someone to keep me in check when it comes to animals. I'm going to end up a fark greenlight one day.
Also, a little sweat and a flash make my face look greasy. I am not greasy.
That is all.
Oh Hooray!
I put them on craigslist and already have someone who says she'll take them as a last resort, in Indiana.
Yay for good deeds being done.
they can't "just have them put down", that's killing too :P

Oh I know. I just think they probably do that as opposed to taking them out back and shooting them or something. It sounds better, but it's the same thing, essentially.
The black one has a home, so my job is 33.33% finished.
I think I have a home for the two girls too, now.
This makes me quite happy.
Good jorb, Cat Lady!

I recommend lonely, hopeless and with a dash of insanity.

Luckily for me, Carroll has a bit of the cat lady gene, too. That means I'll only be hopeless and insane.
sell them to a Chinese restaurant/taco stand
This thread irritates the crap out of me. I start scrolling down to get to the next comment, then a picture loads and takes me right back to where I was - it's like a comment treadmill.
Does that to me, too.
I dropped off the two girls in Indiana today. That lady is far more of a cat lady than I am. Definitely.
Hopefully she won't make them into a living cat quilt.
OMG!! The black cat has a human growing out of it!!! Stop the presses!!

He's been named Bubba Gump, and that's his new friend, Mr. Bojangles.
Those are some surprised looking kittens.
Indeed. That's Jessie holding them. Not me though.

No.
None of the above, but you can pretend if you like that idea.
Here's the happy ending:

How are the fruit flavored whirls?

Dunno. Haven't opened them yet. I bought them because my nephew's coming to stay with us this week and I figure two 12 year old boys will eat a lot of cereal. I love store brands! I'm cheap like that.
Oh, and I should point out that the crayon drawings on the fridge are by Carroll, not Timothy. That one on the front is a picture of him hooking me and reeling me in.
He's special.
He called you "a big one".

Yes. It was not meant as a fat joke though.
I have a whole collection of pictures like that. Some of them are really funny. Some are really sweet. Some say I'm a giant fish.
You win some, you lose some, I guess.
I'm grabbing some milk and bowls and heading for Jessie's. Someone else bring the spoons.
Are the Pringles that extreme?
I haven't even tasted them. Timothy says he doesn't like them.
probably because the canister smells like cat asshole.

That's what makes them extreme. Cheddar and Cat Asshole Flavor Pringles (tm).
