Exploring the patio

Kittens playing at night

Chips and Curious eating their dinner.

Chips and Curious

In an effort not to get too attached, we named the kittens whatever came to mind first. Chris named the all-black kitten Curious, because he/she kept leaning too far out of the closet and falling off the step. I named the black-and-white kitten Chips, which was supposed to be short for Chocolate Chips but is now short for Potato Chips because he/she naps all the time.

Curious Kittens

The kittens are about nine days old and beginning to explore the world outside the closet.

Mittens had kittens

Mittens is one of several stray cats that hang around our back porch. I went to get my bike one day and found Mittens curled up in the corner with two newborn kittens.
