Catnappers!

Over the weekend we were cat sitting for Mom and Dad's kitten Rosy. They have fallen in love with this kitten and have been joyfully entertained with all her antics. We also had one of her litter mates, Sasha with us. The cats were together in the garage for the weekend. We had a great time playing with them and watching them get to know each other.


Sunday after church as we were eating lunch, Mom called to say that they had come by earlier to pick up their kitten. They were so pleased because she ran right up to them when they came into the garage.


Here's a picture of Mom and Dad with Sasha.
Do they look guilty???


You guessed it didn't you! They got the wrong kitten. Sasha and Rosey are almost identical. When we told them they had the wrong cat, they hardly believed us, until they thought about it a bit.



They had wondered why "Rosey" was so skitterish when they took her home. She ran all around the house investigating. Then when she went into their laundry room, she came face to face with their floor standing mirror and scared herself silly!

We all laughed and laughed at the mistake! They now have their beloved kitten home with them, and no, she wasn't scared when she saw the mirror.

Don't they look happy! I wish we could go over and have breakfast with them in the morning! Please give them both a hug for us.

Sherry,
You are right! The cats didn't come in the house when they had two, but Rusty disappeared and we fear he was eaten by a coyote. So they brought poor little Rosey in as they looked for another kitten. Well----they just loved having her inside. She has brought so much joy to Gpa they couldn't put her back out.

At our house cats are still outside only. (allergies of friends)
I'm sure they will read your comment and be blessed by your love.
Blessings to your family.
