    So I must be officially insane

    I went to a client's home this afternoon. It was a wonderful ride through the middle of nowhere in the snow. They live on a beautiful old farm. It was such a Christmassy ride through Pennsylvania farm country.... do ya see where this is going yet?

    Upon leaving the client's house, three kittens came running up to me. I gasped and told her what cuties they were. She told me I could take one if I wanted. I almost fell over. She has barn cats and this was what is left from three litters! She said they are all wild. Wild my left foot! these three were social and inquisitive.

    I couldn't just leave without these guys. It was SNOWING! Leave little kittens in the snow? I think not! I left with three squirming little sweethearts. They are SWEET. Not at all feral. I fell immediately for the grey one. Hubby took one look at the grey one and said "That one will be staying"

    Pictures to come as I let them settle into the spare bedroom. There's a little calico, a buff orange and the grey one I love. The calico will be adopted in a blink. I already have two coworkers fighting over her.

    Nope absolutely not insane just an absolute angel for nabbing these babies and giving them a fighting chance. Good job Kim and tell Grant I said he's a keeper. Any man that looks at a kitty and says that one's staying is definately worth holding on to.

    Can't want for pics.

    Good job girl.
    ((((HUGS))))

    Way to go!

    No, not insane. Just... compassionate. What did he expect? For you to just leave those tiny wittle babies all in the cold to shiver and shake?

    Here are a few pictures. They are settling in just wonderfully. Even despite Cameron terrorizing them. The buff guy is TOLERANT. The other two are typical girls who had about two minutes of him and ran to hide (can't say I blame them)

    Here's the calico girl. I already KNOW her name will be Ginger Cookie.


    I was thinking of keeping a Christmas cookie theme. So what should this one's name be? I think its a girl
    \

    And the tolerant boy. He's ALL BOY - much larger than the other two and much more brave. He crawled out of the cardboard box during my drive home a few times. Enough I had to pull over and move the box to the front seat so I could hold the flap down. Then they ran around my car for an hour before I could leave work

    Very cute!!!

    For the name of the gray one, assuming she is a girl, not a cookie name, but a Christmasy name..." Silver Bells" and call her Bell ( like from Beauty and the Beast)...just an idea....

    Anyway, glad they are warm in your home

    I hope....that if they were the last from several litters that the momcats will get spayed....though on a farm, dunno if that will happen.

    They are just SO ADORABLE!!!! The buff guy...give him a tummy rub for me! And the others a smooch on their cute widdle heads!

    Too bad I wasn't home to take your phone call (but the message you left that said you had 30 new fosters sure grabbed my attention...LOLOLOL that is what both Charlie and I heard )

    Oh, and you are only as insane as the rest of us here.

    The buff boy could be Snickerdoodle.

    the grey.........Marzipan (is that a cookie??? )

    OMG - they are to die for!! All of them are just adorable.

    I like the name Silver Bells, but would add an extra E if it is indeed a girl - Silver Belle

    Love the name Snickerdoodle!!! (Also one of my fave cookies!)

    Marzipan is a paste, made of almonds and sugar, but is used for baking, but could be cute as a name as well. It's some yummy stuff, lol... look for the Mozart balls that they have at TJ Maxx and Marshalls at this time of year (the Moravian Book Shop has them year round). They are delicious! Wegman's also has a candy bar I found that is dark chocolate filled with marzipan. OMG... so sinful!!!

    You could also call her Sugar Plum (or Sugar for short).

    I'm sure there are a bunch more Christmas/Winter themed names out there... they are just soooo cute!!
