Last Friday when we kept all three girls I forgot to tell you we also babysat our new family member. Mittens is a tiny little kitten the girls picked up on a farm so it was the offspring of a wild mother. It came wandering up to the girls and they picked it up and brought it home. It was definitely asking for help. He/she (we don't know) is either the runt in the litter or not well. It is so tiny, maybe weighing a pound and a half soaking wet. And yes, it loves baths. Anyway we went to pick up the girls on Friday and we knew Mittens was going to be locked in a bathroom with no food or water for most of the day so I picked it up wrapped in its bed and off we went. It had fun checking out our house and finding a good spot to sleep. It played and played for hours. We had a great time watching it. We are not cat people as much as we are dog people but we found it to be quite an interesting adventure keeping a tiny kitten. After Mittens wore itself out playing it wandered around until it found a place to sleep other than its own bed. The little thing claimed the girls' Big Dog they lay on to watch tv.
Look closely. You can see Mittens snuggled into the black spot
on Big Dog. None of the girls tried to toss the kitten off the dog.
Mittens' name does not fit too well as she is solid black but
turning gray around her neck. She does not have white feet as
the name Mittens implies.
We all had a fun day enjoying the antics of this crazy and tiny kitten.
