A tale of two kitties

Once upon a time we had two kitties. Copper and Oakie. Copper grew old and passed away. Oakie grew too much to care for and was given away. Since then my kids have asked for more kittens. Heres how the conversation usually goes.
Kids: Lets go get a kitty
Mom: No
Kids: When can we have another kitten.
Mom: Never--or when you move out and have your own house.
Kids: Why can't we have a kitten
Mom: I hate litter boxes
Kids: We will change the litter box and do whatever it takes to take care of it.
Mom: What, like you did last time?
Kids(mostly Allison): Mom we were little then. We will take care of them
Mom: No!!!!!!! Never more kitties
Well they begged and begged and acted like their entire life's happiness depended on getting a kitty. So I thought about it and decided why not if it will make them happy--getting a kitty is not that big a deal. So on Martin Luther King day we went looking for a kitty. We could not find any. Most of them were big. James looked on KSL and found a lady who had two kittens but would like them to stay together. We went to look with the idea that we would either only take one or take them both and find someone else who wanted a kitty. Well we took them both and I don't think we will be getting rid of either one any time soon. So, meet the two newest memebers of the Jensen household:

Stanely--sweet calm, does not climb scratch or go places he should not--not very cuddley.

Misty--hyper, happy, cuddley, into everything, on everything into all places she should not go.

Together they make the perfect kitty.

OK here is the payoff. Smiley, happy kids(even the dog is happy that we have kittens). Call me crazy but I like to make my kids happy every now and then. So I went from "No kitties ever" to having two kitties. Wish me luck.

I have not had to scoop the poop, feed them, or brush them. My kids , so far, are living up to their promises. We shall see how long it lasts.
