Earlier his summer, our cat, Bob, disappeared and never came home. It wasn't unusual for the cats to wander off for a few days but they would always come back. But Bob never did. Bless him. Drew likes to think that he's living it up in someone's house being treated like a royal kitty, but I'm pretty sure that's not true...
Since Bob has been gone, Dwight has been pretty pitiful! He just lays around all by himself. So we decided we should get some more cats to keep him company.
We got 2 kittens so they could grow up together and not be lonely. We left it up to Livy to name them.
"What do you want to name them?"
"Umm, Weasel and Dwight."
"Well, we've already had a Weasel before and we still have Dwight so let's think of some more names."
"No I like Weasel! ...and Muffin. They can be Weasel and Muffin!"
So we have Weasel the Second (RIP) and Muffin. We have no idea if they're boys or girls... It's still hard to tell. Weasel could go either way but poor Muffin, if he turns out to be a boy, he may have a complex over his name!
The day we got them, Olivia played with them in her room. She played babies and had them in the baby doll crib, she pulled them around in her wagon, and even held them and took them down the slide. By that evening, her eyes were swollen and itchy with little raised bumps underneath. So I told her we don't need to play with them anymore since they make her itch. She was devastated at first, but she has handled it well. Now we go outside just to check on them.
