Kittens

It's been a rough week, especially for Violet, and me as well. 

We've been giving Sebastian so much extra love this week, and at one point we found him inside the tunnel, where Spence was hanging out a few days ago. But truly, Seb has been acting fairly normally, for which we're grateful.

Along with our sadness, we're thinking ahead to getting new kittens. Violent went through a phase a couple of years ago of desperately desiring kittens, as she's never really had the experience. She was only 1 when Spencer and Sebastian were babies.

It's helped her to feel a bit better to look at Petfinder and find kitten pairs we might take a look at. Plus, we don't want Seb to get used to being an only cat.

One afternoon this week, we went to play with the adoptable cats at our Petsmart.

I contacted a rescue with a lot of kittens, and on Saturday, the girls and I went kitten-looking. 

We went to two different Petcos and to the home of a woman who fosters cats, and saw three different pairs of bonded babies. Playing with them all was good for our hearts!

Here's Lucy, who had the most beautiful eyes.

Violet is holding Flower, Lucy's littermate. Flower liked to nuzzle right up in our neck area.

And here, Cora is holding Winston and Vi has Evie, a sister of the two above. Winston isn't related, but was raised with Evie and they're very attached. He was found all alone at a few days old, and Evie and her litter were also found without their mother, so all these were bottle-fed from a few days old.

We also visited with these brothers, named Ben and Jerry (photo taken from the web site). I would have taken them home, but to Cora, they were too much like Seb and Spencer when we got them (and she DOES remember their early days with us). 

We've decided to adopt Winston and Evie, and we're excited for them to move in.
