New Kittens

After we lost our Fancy cat, the girls asked to get kittens. Amber has wanted a kitten for a long, long time. I decided to get two cats, so they'd have company. The local horse supply store had found some kittens a few weeks ago who's mother had been killed by a car. They had asked if we wanted one, but they had to be bottle-fed and we still had Fancy, so I said no. We decided to ask if they had any that still needed home, but they were all spoken for. As I was asking about kittens, were we offered some by another employee. She brought two kittens to work with her a couple of days later. I took the girls over to see them after school. On the way, Amber said she wanted a fluffy black and white kitten, and I said we'd have to take what there was. When we got there, she had brought two kittens, a male short-haired gray and white and a long haired dark tiger. A man at the barn had fallen in love with the tiger and wouldn't let us have him. I told the girl we had really wanted two kittens and she said there was one other one, the runt who she didn't think was big enough to bring in. It had goopy eyes and needed to be fed seperately as she was so small. It was a little fluffy black and white female. Of course we said we'd take her and we got her the next day. So now we have Mittens, the gray male, and Mini-kitty (or Bella) the black and white runt. I used the red light on her eyes and she cleared up in TWO days! When we got her, her eyes had to be wiped clean 4-6 times a day, whenever she napped. Next day it was better, about 3-4 times, after that, just once in a while and they were never sealed shut like before. They have worked out really well, everyone loves the new additions. Although Alan really hates cats!
