As many of you know, one of our cats, Red, died suddenly the day before our departure for California. Our remaining cat, Frankie, walked around looking for Red for awhile after our return, so we thought we'd better get her a companion before too much time passed. The local Tractor Supply Company keeps animals from the local shelter in their store, so we went to look.

Sure enough, they not only had kittens, but a brother and sister who had been rescued from a busy highway. We couldn't seperate them, so we took them both. Frankie now has two playmates, Lucy and Herbie. They are the perfect kittens for us, although Frankie is still adjusting to the idea.

They play hard and sleep hard! It's tough to get much done with the entertainment they provide.
