Kitties

Back in June, I awoke one night to the sound of newborn kitty cries underneath our bedroom. They were the cutest kitty cries ever. I just KNEW that one of the kitties had to be gray and super furry.

I listened to their cries for about a week but never saw them. I went up to Michigan for nearly two months during the summertime and wondered if I would ever get to put a furry face to the irresistibly cute meows.

I did. When I got home from Michigan, I pulled into the driveway to see five furry faces hiding under our front porch!! I was SO excited that they had stuck around and waited all summer for me to come home!! (ok, I know this wasn’t their real motivation for sticking around—John had been feeding them Vienna sausages all summer..)

 

I soon realized that only four of them were kittens—one was their very petite mama. But sure enough, all of the kitties were SUPER FURRY and one was even GRAY!!! There were two who looked like twins—white and yellow, and the runt of the litter was an (OHMYGOODNESS) calico!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so I know I said that I desperately wanted a gray kitty, but once I laid eyes on calico, she instantly became my new favorite. Oh my goodness. So little, so furry, so calico-y! Absolutely a-dorable. (I mean they are all adorable, but Cali takes the cake)

 

John’s favorite was the gray one—and it is so funny because his favorite kitty has the EXACT personality of him: bold, big, and leader of the pack. My favorite, Cali, is exactly like me: timid, slow, scared of everything, and a total “cuddler.” Hilarious.

John’s kitty, Moses 2 as we like to call him, is so adventurous that he even comes inside the house sometimes. I am so ready for Cali to be this adventurous. All I want for Christmas is to cuddle with Cali.

I love our porch kitties. They make me smile every time I open the door to go outside or when I come home from school. They have become a part of the family 😉 I just PRAY they don’t ever decide to pick up and move (or cross the road 😦 ). Let’s hope the allure of a lifetime supply of Vienna sausages keeps them here for good 😉
