Took the little kitties to the vet for shots. Oh my goodness! I got the estimate for the surgeries to have front claws removed....and the procedure to not have more cute kitties. WOW! Pretty hefty! I now know why my vet drives a beautiful new car! Thankfully it will not happen till July--so I have some time to save. One of the kitties is twice the size as her sister! She is still small but getting much larger!
I stil think kitties are cheaper than dogs. I have never owned a dog....I am a cat person. My friend complains about her dogs endlessly--I never hear boo about her cats digging up the flowers or escaping down the street in the rain.I do like the idea of taking the dog for a walk. Having a buddy of sorts. Cats do not do that very well. Plus I only see wives walking the family dogs around here as I sit on my front porch. My teen son wanted a dog for a long time....I said I never ever see 16yr old boys walking the dog or going to the vet...or picking up p**p in the yard....only the moms it seems.
That is why I never caved into the whole "A Boy and his Faithful Dog Routine". Yes I never let him get a dog. I guess I am a mean mom or maybe a pretty smart mom. He does like the kitties....he will not admit it out loud but I think he is very fond of their very furry faces! Pets can be really wonderful. It can be really comforting to cuddle with a cat or yes...OK....a sweet old dog.
Kitties or Doggies----take your Pick!

By the way------I hope there aren't any vets lurking on the blogs....I don't mean to be so "down" on vets.....it just is so much money nowadays. Vets DO provide for our dear pets. Again.....I hope I did not offend any vet professionals.

The spay/neuter part is important, as are the shots (wait a little bit to refresh your savings if you want the feline leukemia shot), the flea dip, and the microchip.

These kitties have such a nice temperment. I think one reason is becasue they are loved on it seems like 24/7! They are so happy and super content. Plus they seem to love each other....when one is not around...the other one meews loudly for her till she re-appears! It is darling!
I'm sorry-----I better stop bragging about them.....I am one proud kitty granny!

If you don't like the idea of the kittens possibly clawing things up, you might consider getting adult cats instead of kittens next time as they tend to be calmer.
Declawing is a cruel procedure.

I think that is Irish or Scottish???? Cute name!
I have been gone all day--I missed my "girls"!!
I managed to remember to buy a dollar photo frame for a new kitty photo I have that is so cute. It looks like a Hallmark card photo.......my mom took it and she did a nice job taking their photo. The kitties actually were posing perfectly! Of course....... : )

Thankfully it was away from my house and more out by the backyard...way out there.....so I did not get too upset. When I would see her...she would just glare at me! Like she was saying..."What's wrong with you honey????" She seemed to not be to worried about me.
