Tiny Visitors

We had some weekend visitors of the kitty persuasion. Two adorable little kittens, just about 2 months old, showed up on our doorstep. They had phone numbers on their tags but no address and none of our nearest neighbors claimed them. We left messages on the answering machines and waited.

We let them just hang out for awhile but when it became clear that they had no idea where they actually lived, we got them some food and water. They weren't street smart so at the end of the day we moved them into our backyard to at least put some distance between them and the road. We continued to leave messages and the kittens continued to hang out at our house. I nicknamed them Pinkie and Boots.

Finally, on Monday evening I got hold of a real person. He lived in the next neighborhood over but had been out of town all weekend. He is new to the cat owner thing and thought that they would stay in his yard while he was away. We kindly suggested that the kittens might need a little more time to establish where home was before they are left for a whole weekend again. He agreed. Jonathan and I think it's likely that we will see ole' Pinkie and Boots again but at least next time we will know where they live.
