The Kitties

A friend of was giving away baby cats so we decided to give it a try. It was a trial run because Bryson has had some ill reactions to cats in the past. We were hoping it was a fluke and that he would be fine. He was okay the 1st evening but by the 2nd evening his eyes were watering and his nose was running. We decided to give the cats back. I hated it for the boys - they LOVED the cats. Maybe when they are a little bigger (and hopefully Bryson will have outgrown this allergy) we'll try again.

We had the cats for 2 days. They boys named the sandy one Cinnamon and the white ope Sugar. The first night Sugar took off for the woods and stayed there the entire night. We weren't sure we'd be able to get her in the garage. But after much work and luring, Jay got her in the garage. They were so sweet!

Bryson did good when we took the cats back. He understands he is allergic and it's not a good idea to be around cats right now. He did tell me he wanted a dog and that he's asking Santa for one. :) As for the cats it is probably a good idea we took them back because Jayson LOVED to hold them. He could be a little rough at times. Cinnamon actually bit him once because he was holding the cat by her neck. And I don't know how he did it but one minute he wouldn't be holding the cat and the next minute he had it. He had a way of catching the cats.



Sugar, after some effort, finally got used to us.

Cinnamon immediately took us to and didn't venture far from the garage.




Sugar was generally wilder than Cinnamon but spending a night in the woods didn't help her either.
It took her a while to warm up to us.
