Even More Kitties

You read that right, we got more kitties (yes, plural) haha. However, for the first time, these ones weren't my idea. So a while back Larry mentioned he really wanted to get more cats and I just kept throwing the ol' "we don't need any more cats" comment back, but it didn't go past that. Then one day he mentioned he kept looking at kitties up for adoption and how much he really wanted a new one and I told him flat out, no! After a couple days I told him I felt bad because I shouldn't just say no. I've brought it SO many kitties into this home that he wasn't always on board with at first. I did stress that I didn't want or feel we needed any new animals.

So fast forward to yesterday, he had the day off and told me that instead of working out he was going to take the kids to a playground. I thought it was odd and questioned him a bit, but then realized they'd really like going to a playground and it gave me a quiet house so why not. So he took them after school and was gone for a long time, like 2-3 hours. I wondered why he was gone so long, but when they got back we had dinner and then got ready to go to the library (our books were due back). 

As we got in the car he confessed that the real reason he took the kids to the playground is because he had some kittens lined up to pick up and he wanted to surprise me by coming home with them, but it didn't work out like he had planned and the person "selling" them had to take them to the vet for the initial shots and said they'd let Larry know when that was all done, but then they never responded back. So he showed me the picture of them and I had to admit they were cute. He said there was a brother and sister pair left and he wanted both of them so that they would be together and acclimate to a new home better. So as we're driving to the library the person finally starts texting Larry saying the cats are ready to pick up. We quickly dropped off the books and instead of walking around to get new ones, we drove straight out to the house to pick them up.

The kids decided to name them Meow Meow (the dark one, a girl) and Cucumber (the white and gray fluffy one, a boy). I fought the names as much as I could, but after a day they kind of stuck and we weren't thinking of anything else (although at one point Pickle and Cucumber were on the table and I really liked that combo). They are super cute and sweet, pretty nervous still, but warming up. They definitely like Otto and Charlie, the kids and us humans they are iffy with still. The funny thing is Meow Meow looks just like Oscar and Cucumber looks just like Baby Girl (so opposite genders). It's nice to have them back in a way. Cucumber also has a little deformed back paw where he either only has 2 pads or like 3 of them combined into 1 so he has a small one and a big one, we can't quite tell. The vet they took them to said it was a birth defect but shouldn't negatively effect him.

So welcome Cucumber and Meow Meow to our home!
