"All I Want for Christmas is..."

A CAT?

Adlani has had a cat on every Christmas, birthday, and Easter list for the last year and a half.  We had two adult cats who weren't interested in the kids or the dog so they became "cellar dwellers" and died within the last couple of years.  We also had a visiting adult cat who would swat at anyone who came near.  Adlani tried so hard to make friends with all of them, and after accepting defeat he just continued to beg until I gave in.

Since the shelters don't let you adopt just one kitten (they apparently need another cat around for social development), we now have two new kitties.  We're still in negotiations on the names, because the current favorites are Lisa and Crazy Eyeball.  They're very cool and laid-back kitties, and they let the kids carry them all over the place.  The only problem so far is that Adlani wakes up at 5 a.m. to play with them!
