I have a kitten update:
Here are my little angels, happily resting in their new human's car post flight, and just prior to their drive home from the airport. They had a good flight, by all accounts traveled well and calmly and seem to have started settling right in and taking over their new home. It also seems that they are already indoctrinating their new human into all the ways and wiles that fiendishly adorable kittens have of getting what they want, when they want it. He was head-over heels before he left with them (who wouldn't be, just LOOK at them), and he seems only more so now that he has them home. For all my grumping, these little dolls have gone to the only other person I know that might possibly love them more than I would, so I'm pretty darned happy about that, and I know that they will be very happy there. I really, really tried making a move from Ohio to Boston a requirement for taking them, but it didn't work out for me. Ah well, guess I'll just have to go visit them.
Josie, on the other hand, is not so happy, but then, neither would you be if your breasts were as swollen full of milk as hers are. Poor thing. The vet says it's all fine and normal and will go away soon, but woof, I really do feel for her.
P.S. Yes. I still want them back.
Those kittens were no good, Kellee. I could see it in their squinchy little eyes. Trouble with a capital T. I saw one of them fiddling with a book of matches while you weren't looking, and the other was making prank phone calls. She ordered a dozen pizzas for a nursing home in some other town! I mean, honestly, why do you need that kind of heartache? Yep, those kittens were bad news.
Does that help?

Where I grew up, we lived close to some foothills where there were lots of feral cats. My mom and step-dad would try and catch the pregnant feral cats and then keep them until they had their litter, then we'd give away the kittens and take mama to the vet to be fixed. Usually, every time we performed this rescue operation we ended up with two more cats - mama and one of the babies. One night when my best friend spent the night and was still at my house the following morning after everyone else had left, she woke up to find (and I am *not* exaggerating here) eight cats surrounding her on the bed.
Eight's a lot...I'm just saying.

Who wouldn't want them back, they are sooooo cute. I'm glad they have a good new home though where they'll be adored and worshipped as all cats should be. They look so cute in the luggage.

I love the photo. But Ohio? What's the deal? Way too far away.
