It's been a crazy week at the Overton Ranch.
Mr.I-Hate-Cats-and-We're-Not-Getting-Another-Cat-I-Don't-Care-What-You-Say has a soft centre under all that bluster and was the key reason we ended up coming home from the SPCA with two kitties instead of just going to have a little look-see.
As we were looking around at all the homeless kitties (and at the risk of sounding preachy, please please PLEASE fix your pets, there are so many unwanted animals out there is completely breaks my heart), he pulled me over and said, "Well, if we're going to get one, maybe we should get two...you know, if we can find siblings or something like that".
I am no fool.
I was pretty sure something like that would go down.
So, introducing the newest members of our family
Ash (the kitty formerly known as Sylvia - which totally cracks my stuff up Sylvia? For a cat? Seriously? Sylvia. Huh.)
and Ember (nee Tess)
They've had a rough week, being surrended to the SPCA, getting fixed, being loved vigorously by the boys (we imposed a week long ban on Lucas loving the kitties, except from afar, until they get used to the house and us. It's been tough, as Lucas is a hands-on kinda guy, but we're managing).
Oh Cheryl they are soooo gorgeous!! I really want to meet them. A-M and I were there today - all the dogs were going apeshit and I was trying once again with Furry but she's still living in her own world. But so many lovely cats...Holly wanted me to bring one home for her. But I didn't.

The reason I got two was so that I would be totally full after a nice "BBQ". The last one just didn't appease my appetite!!

How sweet are your new kitties? I want one!!! I had to laugh about the Lucas ban. Our kitty keeps praying for a Jared ban but has yet to see it happen. I hope your kittys have a long and happy life with their new family. :)
