so here's a story.

when we got home from the vet the other night, and gathered around to bury gunnie, we heard loud kitten shrieks from across the street. we had seen a mama cat with a litter of three a week previous, but the shrieking only began that night. "it's driving me crazy," helen said. "it sounds just like gunther." and so she walked across the street, looking for the babies, but couldn't find them.

tonight, the shrieking started again. and so we brought out a platefull of gunther's premium wetfood for the babies and mama, and stood nearby with a flashlight, waiting.

soon, mama and two kittens came around, and went to town on the food. i inched closer and closer, until i was able to scoop up kitten one, and then kitten two. we never saw kitten three. we wonder if he made it.

and so it came to pass that bananie and schmelen had two 6-8 week old hungry hungry kittens locked in their bathroom. we caught them just in time; already they have adapted to us touching and holding them.

they are both boys.

i am proud to introduce:

cross-eyed chavez.

and really laid back phinnaeus quimby.

tomorrow, we will take them to the vet for shots and dewormer. and we will make sure that they are in good health. after they get comfortable with litter boxes and indoor living, we're going to put them up for adoption.

so, what i'm trying to say is...would you like a kitten?
