Snafu keeps trying to hunt and kill the snow flakes but the window is in the way.

We love the cats, by the way. You probably want to see more photos, right? Clicky.

that i’d cheapen my blog with
snack food poetry?

for sandwich particulars and one more sandwich i couldn’t fit in, get thee to flickr.

i think animals are cute, and i like to meet them and hold them and all that, but i never feel the need to make them mine.

however, i went to get my hair cut on friday and there were a couple of kittens (brother and sister) hanging out at deluxe. born in the wild, they were there for socialization so i held them and played with them to help out. at one point the little girl was sitting in my hands, looking straight up into my eyes for what seemed like forever. then, while maintaining eye contact, she fell asleep and that is when my heart exploded.

paul and i went back on saturday for a play-date. the boy is super friendly and agile. he climbed me like a mountain and made himself comfortable. the little girl is a little more shy but just as inquisitive… we nearly passed out from laughing when she jumped into the waste basket.

and that’s that, my friend. we are totally owned by kittens now. they were spayed and neutered on sunday and we’ll be picking them up tonight.

here’s a picture that lisa at deluxe took… i dare you to not to fall in love. it’s impossible, i swear.

on the left, we have “snafu” and on the right, in mid-swat, we have “hermano.”
