Fourth of July 2011

Our first Fourth of July in our new home.

kittens, kittens..

When we moved here, we acquired three sweet kittens to add to our family.  Once we moved into our new home we started to welcome a few more kittens.  Our first was chili, who had one little boy who we named Sunny at about four weeks old Chili dissappered and never came came home.  Leaving us again with three.  Soon Bing had kittens, she gave birth to two grey and one black, when we found them one of the grey was dead.  So left she had two boys one grey and black. Meanwhile we had found a litter down at the farm, caught all but one and brought them home to try and find them homes.  Bing was such a good mom she took them in and always caught them enough mice to eat.  We found homes for all of them but a little fluffly black girl.  Soon afterwards Bing and Bandit both dissappered.  Leaving us with Sunny, Velvet and Jelly and midnight.

Unfortunaltey soon we found our sweet Sunny dead on the road while heading to church.

 Months later we welcomed a litter of five little kittens into our family from midnight and Velvet as the dad.  Before they were born Velvet dissappered. After the birth of the kittens Jelly also dissappered. While we seem to have many cats come and go.  We have loved them all and try so hard not to get to attached as new ones come. Now we have Midnight (mom) SKunk, snippet, and Goatee(has a black goatee)
