The Good and the Bad {news}

First the good news:
Our new neighbours gave us two adorable kittens. They had 12 that were ready to be placed and we were looking for mousers.  I took the boys there and let them each pick out their own kitten.  We wanted two for a couple of reasons.
One so that we can get kittens.
Two so they can keep each other warm.
Three so there's not so much fighting about who gets to hold it.

Turns out Seth is scared of these little critters since he really is quite a sensitive little guy, and the first time he picked one up it clawed him good and hard on the hand.  So Tristan gets to play with two.

Meet "Rocky" (Seth's by ownership)

Meet "Snow Lion"

I let them come in the house one evening so Rowan could get his fair share of playing with them.  And it was quite amusing for all involved.  ;) 

Only problem is, is that once you let kittens in the house they think they should come in all the time.  So now there's this problem that when we open to door they slither in between our feet and try get in the front room.  This has proven to be fatal for Snow Lion, which is the sad part of this story.  Poor Seth, slammed the door on a cold day only to have the kitten in the way.  A few hours later it succumbed to it's injuries, and we all had a bad day due to this unfortunate event.  :( 
Seth generously offered his own kitten to Tristan who turned it down with the words "It's ok! I wanted a puppy anyways!" .
He might have to wait a while before we are ready for that!
