This made me smile. My mother has cats and seems to accumulate them from the roadside drop off. Sad that people do that. love phyl

I don't understand how you can have a pet and then just abandon it. Our pets are members of the family. I could never do that. Thank you for your comment, Phyl!

Thank you, L.J.! I'm a dog person, too, but my husband only wants cats.

Love this Kim. I hate when shelters put down animals because they have no room or time for them. Great write. God Bless, JB

The shelter where we got our cats is called "SOCKS" (Save Our Cats and Kittens). They are a no kill shelter and the people that work there are amazing. Thank you for your comment!

Like babies, I love kittens when small. It's when grow up that trouble starts.

We have two adult cats already. I just hope they will accept the kittens without problems. Thank you for commenting, Victor!

It's so beautiful. You used to wish everyone after everyone after the Pleiades contest. This time you did not comment after your so beautifully arranged triolet contest. In fact Your wish makes Great impact.

I'm sorry, Christuraj. I will always comment to the winners of my contests, I was just delayed.

oh so sweet! I had same experience wayback then! But here now I can't do that anymore as processing of adoption paper is too much complicated!

Kim Merryman

We're pretty excited about them coming home with us. Hope our two adult cats will be happy as well. Thank you for commenting, JCB!

So cute, Kim. Did you adopt some new kittens or is it just fantasy writing?

Kim Merryman
Date: 5/26/2021 9:17:00 AM

Juliet, this is based on truth. We found two orphaned kittens about 3 weeks old and took them to a rescue shelter who knew how to care for them. That was a couple months ago and now they are ready to be adopted and we had fallen in love with them so they will be coming home with us soon. We already have two grown cats so we'll have a full house! Thank you cor commenting!
