Meet Dr. Nefarious and Zoni
So uhm, we kind of have two kittens now.
See?
The one on the left is Dr. Nefarious and the one on the right is Zoni. (Yes, these are also names from the Ratchet & Clank video game)
Tuesday morning, after my husband left for work, Clank stood up against our sliding glass door and started scratching at it. He never does this. So, I let him in the backyard. Immediately he and Ratchet ran out there and started barking at something on the top of our back wall. That something? A stray momma cat and her three kittens.
Well, once I got the dogs inside and went back out, the momma cat left. About an hour later, one of the kittens climbed down and left. An hour after that, I walked around behind our house to see if maybe the momma and the other kitten were just down below on the other side of the wall. Didn’t see them. An hour after that, I completely caved and went out and brought the two kittens that were left inside.
I couldn’t help it. I felt like I waited long enough for the mom to come back and it was HOT outside. And what if the momma cat didn’t come back and they were stranded and had no food and …and dammit, they’re adorable, okay?
Anyway…they are currently in our hallway. We bought kitten food, bowls, litter box, put a stuffed animal in there and a couple of boxes for them to play with. And, we are s-l-o-w-l-y introducing them to the dogs. Clank doesn’t seem to care one way or another. Ratchet whines a lot (I think he wants to play with them) and when we let him sniff one today while I was holding it, he licked it. So, he seems like he’ll be okay with them too.
Are we keeping them? Well, we let people know if they want them to let us know, but haven’t heard anything. I’m kind of hoping it stays that way. LOL.
In other news, I did Week 5, Day 2 of the C25K program this morning. That’s the run 8 minutes, walk 5 minutes, run 8 minutes one. I did it with no problems. I got the big 20 minute run coming up on Saturday. Eeek. I’m going to do all I can to continue running, even if it I have to run really, really, slow. Of course, I already run slow.
