Can it be overemphasized how adorable kittens are?

Today is a somber one. The only kitten that isn't staying with me leaves and the only saving grace is she is going to a home with kids in it who are so excited. She is the black and white one above, actually most white and she has a black mask going on, the softest fur and the sweet docile personality. As opposed to Roi, our feisty jumper. Roi literally curled up in the crook of my arm last night and laid there all night. Any time I moved and she awoke, she started purring. Man, god did make them cute so we would put up with the unfun bits. Last night the kittens also got in trouble when they were playing on the table and my dad grabbed them by the scruff of the neck and put them down with a "NO!" Charley's feelings were hurt and my dad had to make nice, dad calls him fairy cat because he's so sensitive.  I think they are all adorable and am very lax, apparently I would not make a good mother, at least in discipline...I spent 20 minutes this morning doing the cat ritual, some time with the 22 year old girl, feeding medicine to the 19 year old male with bad teeth, keeping our 8 year old from clawing the faces of the kittens.  She fails to remember that she was once a stray that we let inside and have taken care of for over 2 years.  Actually she first showed up right about the time I started working at the "office that is not nearly as reasonable as the one in Office Space."  I would come home during lunches to check on her, since she was so skittish and would be easily scared away from her food by light wind.  She is now jealous over the little ones and makes sure to growl at them every chance she can.  Some have wondered if she was responsible for missing Mingo, hopefully he is happily licking his chops somewhere in a warm house. 

I invited our mutual friend to be a follower on our blog so that will be cool.  When you can, log into the blog from your work desktop and I can see the ip address and have that address disregarded in the statcounter.  Hope your workday was at least somewhat interesting and you got free food.  Because at the end of the day, that's the most important part.
