Kitten Hunting-- WV

Back in WV! Yesterday, I helped Rebecca accomplish one of the things on her summer bucket list: kitten hunting.

 

Blackjack and Dale, who were born in early spring.

When I say kitten hunting, I don't mean with guns-- I mean we're searching around Rebecca's friend's house for hidden litters of kittens. This is the second time I've gone with them, and it was so much fun! We waded through boxes and old junk in the garage to find them.

There were four litters this year. Three of the litters are already too old to be held (they're wild barn cats who hiss and spit and bite). This is the youngest bunch, who just opened their eyes yesterday morning:

Sugar and Spice, Rusty and Sunny

Rusty

Sunny and Spice

"What should we name them?" Asked Rebecca.

"Rusty, for one of the orange ones."

"Yeah, and Sunshine for the other one.

"How about Sunny?"

"OK. What about the white ones?"

"Sugar! But the other white one..." They were quiet for a moment. Then,

"Spice!" they said together, then burst into giggles.



The creatures have accepted me as one of their own.

I will be posting again soon-- Rebecca is going to the beach and then straight to Youth Camp, and I'm going with her to both! I am excited.
