We adopted two kittens and brought them home today.
The whole family was involved. Even my son who said he didn't like cats and especially Miss Kitty. He says now he can start with these two with a clean slate!
I have had cats as a part of my life as long as I can remember. My first kitty's name was Nosey. She was, well, very nosey. She was mostly white. She spent most of her life with spaghetti sauce permanently stained on her nose.
Yeah, we gave her spaghetti.
It's been a long year since my sweet Miss Kitty passed away in February.
I knew I wanted another kitty but not until Fall when we could all settle inside for the long, cold winter. Another cat would be an indoor cat. My husband grew up with cats also and he agreed. We tossed around the idea of getting two kitties. One for him and one for me.
I have never had two kittens at once. I hear it is a lot of fun.
When it was impossible to decide on just one after going to our local humane society, we dropped the idea of two. It was a little pricey too!
Then my daughter sent me this picture. This little kitten stole my heart! I knew this was going to be my next kitty to love. Her name is Sprite!
But after multiple cats getting hit by cars, getting lost and then found, and giving me poison ivy every year, it was time.
So I waited, and waited and waited! Three weeks! Sprite had to weigh at least 2 pounds to be spayed. One day before I got the call she would have the surgery, I went back online to see what other kittens there were to adopt.
For my husband. I was just looking.
I found Presley. He is all black. I just knew my husband would love him. He did. He said "get him!"
I called the coordinator right away and told her to add Presley to our order! We'd pick them up at the same time.
It was all too easy. I was already approved to adopt, so they just added a second kitten and reduced the price a little too!
Presley will not be his name. My husband is changing it to Cyrus, after the movie Warriors, where Cyrus is a gang leader. Sprite will stay Sprite because I love it. A sprite is in the fairy family of creatures and I love that whole fantasy world. Perfect for me.
We picked them both up today.
They did not get along.
Sprite was in a foster home with two older cats that just batted her away as a nuisance. She needed a new friend her own size! Cyrus was in a foster home with other cats and kittens and got along with them all. He had to leave his friend Cecilia behind to come home with us. He needed a new friend his own size! He just wants to play!
One of the first things Sprite did was crawl into the armoire shelf under the TV.
The first thing Cyrus did was to follow her in!
My idea of having two kittens is that they play nice together, sleep together, maybe even share the same food bowl. I am sure it will come in time. It is only the first day!
So, I don't have any cute pictures of the two of them together yet. Tonight will be their first night together in a room upstairs. We have separate litter boxes for them, separate eating bowls and water bowls and we're not sure where they are going to end up sleeping. I made a comfy bed for them but I have a feeling it won't get used!
Have you ever had two kittens at the same time? If you have any tips or advice I would love to hear them!

She isn't even old enough to adopt here, but I went online to the shelter and applied for her. I was willing to wait. She is a black and white Calico.
Did you know that all Calico cats are females?
This time around our new kitty would be an indoor cat for many reasons. I have never had an indoor cat and wasn't sure I agreed with keeping a cat indoors. Miss Kitty loved prancing around our yard and sitting in the sun with her other kitty friends.But after multiple cats getting hit by cars, getting lost and then found, and giving me poison ivy every year, it was time.

She wanted no part of it! A fight broke out. A lot of hissing on Sprites part. Cyrus just wants to be friends!
Cyrus was left on his own.
