Kittens! The title of the blog comes from a conversation we had after hearing about wedding vows that included "I love you more than tacos." Kittens and ribs are the two things that make Jared happiest in life. Smoked meat is aplenty out here (food posts coming, I promise!) but we have had kitten-shaped holes in our lives for a while.
And then we found these ladies on Craigslist!
That first photo is from 3-4 weeks old. Born Aug 1. They are identical twins from one placenta, which is apparently a rare thing that does happen in cats. Oh, the cuteness.
We drove out to meet them at 4 weeks, fell in love with them and laid claim. We got another email yesterday saying that they are using a litter box and eating food. We'll be picking them up at 6.5 weeks.
Their mom is a really, sweet and affectionate dilute calico and they seem to be taking after her in both coloration and personality. Perfect.
This is what they are looking like now. The worried eyes kill me!
If you follow the micro-blogging that is my twitter, you'd have seen the series about potential names. We like food names for pets, especially those of the meat or cheese variety.
Brie & Camembert? Chicken & Nugget? Rosemary & Marjoram? Biscuit & Muffin?
The next best kind of names are old lady names (though I like them better for human babies.) Jared came up with Ethyl and Ester...he likes these because they are also food chemistry names. So I think we'll give those a test run when we finally bring them home.
