Rethinking their good fortune

We adopted <a href=http://outdoors.mainetoday.com/children/kidtracks/014517.html>Dulce the kitten back in August</a> and Lupus came to live with us at the beginning of October as a 'foster' kitten.

The whole foster thing was a sham orchestrated by Fino and the kids to soften me up about adopting Lupus. It took me a while to catch on and after a couple of months since <a href=http://outdoors.mainetoday.com/children/kidtracks/016997.html#lupus>his cast removal</a>, he is now a permanent member of the family.

But I wonder how many times Dulce and Lupus might think living with two loving girls is a bit of a hassle.

Take their Christmas presents. They each received a catnip toy along with a couple of new outfits (the <a href=http://outdoors.mainetoday.com/children/kidtracks/014757.html>American Girl outfits</a> were getting "boring" I was told).

Feel free to caption these photos for us ...

BTW, <a href=http://outdoors.mainetoday.com/children/kidtracks/008071.html>Toddy the blind cat</a> seems to be enjoying not being the focus of the girls' attention lately.
