So I must be officially insane

[catnapper]

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))))
Job well done.

If you are insane for doing that, then all of us here should be committed!!

I think you are an absolute angel for taking these babies in! Good for you! I cannot wait to see pics!!

[Sevaede]

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?

Upon leaving the client's house, three kittens came running up to me.

They KNEW! I really believe they KNOW which ones of us are insane!!!

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


Evidence of Cam's abuse

Adorable, especially the little gray girl Yep, feral ???? Cam just proved that wrong LOL

[Christiansmommy]

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

[kimlovescats]

Oh, they are so adorable! I agree that gray one has quite a face!!! You can mail me the buff one though! Thank you for saving them from the snowy cold! Now, would you send us some snow here in TN?

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!

[Emeraldgreen]

They are positively scrumptious! I'm so happy to know that all three of them are cozy and warm in your home snug as a bugs in a rug and not out in the snow!
I am very partial to the gray kitty! She is a mini version of my cat Jimmy! She's so pretty! I've noticed that a few people have been calling her
'Gray Girl', maybe she could be GG (Gigi). I like the Silver Bell (Bell) idea too! And staying in the Christmas theme, how about 'Tinsel Toes"? LOL She's so sweet!

[orangemm]

No, I wouldn't have left, either! What a beautiful trio you have.

The calico is beautiful, the gray is adorable, and the orangie/buff guy is too cute for words.

Bless you for snatching these little ones up!

[Kirsten]

Oh Kim, they are just too adorable!!! And they do not look feral at all!! It's easy to see why they stole your heart.

I love the name Silver Bell(e), and something with tinsel would be nice, too. In German, tinsel is called "Lametta", what about that?

And as for the orangie boy? What about Orange Spice or Cinnamon?

WELL, IF HAVING COMPASSION FOR GODS CREATURES AND WANTING TO SEE THAT THESE BARN CATS AHVE A CHANCE AT A BETTER LIFE AND SHOWING CHARITY AND LOVE TWOARDS THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST IS A SIGN OF LUNACY, THEN PET TALK MUST BE THE BEDLAM OF THE INTERNET.
I OFF HAND CANNOT THINK OF ANY PET TALKER WHO NOTS CHEERING THAT THESE LITTLE ONES ARE GETTING FURREVER HOMES AND LEAVING THE OFTEN HARD WORLD OF THE BARN CAT.
AND I KNOW FROM MICHAEL, PRINCESS AND JOSEPH THAT BARN CATS HAVE GREAT GENES AND ARE VERY LONG LIVED SO YOU AND THE GRAY WONDER CAT WILL BE FRIENDS FOR A LONG LONG TIME!!!!

BLESS YOU FOR BEING A LOONATIC IN THE BEST WAY. ACTUALLY I THINK THAT THE PEOLE WHO DONT CARE ARE THE CRAZY ONES AS THEY WILL BE SO LONELY.
ONE FINE DAY.
