For the first time, Mike and I left the kittens home alone for an entire weekend. To prepare, we left out extra bowls of food and water, closed all the closet doors and the door to the bathroom, we made sure our basil plant was up high and unreachable and we shut the windows slightly to let in some air but also prevent them from bursting through the screen and falling down four flights.
As prepared as we were, I have to admit I jumped up, heart racing with worry, in the middle of the night a few times wondering if they were suffocating in the heat or if they had pried open a window and jumped out. But when we finally returned, everything was fine.
Except for one minor thing. We learned that if you are going to go away for a weekend and leave your kittens home alone, you should hide your cotton balls. Apparently, they love the things…
(I was trying to make my nails pretty before the wedding and I hastily left all my supplies out on the coffee table – lesson learned).
Yes this post is going to be one in which I display my love for the two little animals that have recently entered my life.
Let it be known that as a true “dog person,” I never really liked cats before now – the way they walk around all independent, acting like they’re better than you. But I must admit, raising these little angels (yes I can them that) as kittens makes it is impossible to not become attached.
So without further ado, meet my little Walt…
And Angie…
I’m not going to go on about how “my cats are different,” “they love people” or “my cats act like dogs” because I’ve never believed those phrases from anyone in my life and I’d be a hypocrite to say them here even thought they’re true.
But cat person or not, you have to admit – they’re pretty cute right?
Wow – they’ve gotten big since the first pictures you posted. And yes, as a dog person myself, even I have to admit they’re cuties!
They are adorable!
Super cute, and yes, cats have a way of working their way into your heart… and bags of cotton.
They’re really smart to be all that independent when you’re away, you didn’t need sitter or anything. I think that’s great!
oh my goodness, they are the cutest! i usually come home to ripped up magazines. i have to hide paper before i leave the house – weird, right?
Too funny! Exact same deal… two 5 month old kittens, a wedding weekend…
And two ENTIRE rolls of TP destroyed around the house when we got home.
Sigh.
If you could just take with you Angie and that other pet cat, so that they didn’t have to be left alone… Anyway I’ve always wanted to have pets. They say it brings out the nurturing side of the owner.
