Barnyard kittens

Yesterday we got three kittens! We got them for free (hooray!) and are keeping them outside to catch mice. We have a horrible mouse problem around and in and around our shed, and mice mean snakes....ugh. So hopefully these kitties will keep the mouse population down!

Isaac looks at the three sister cats with great interest. Although he's somewhat afraid of big animals, he did GREAT with the cats and wanted to hold them! Until one scratched him on the neck, that is. :) But he quickly forgets about their sharp claws and grabs for more!

Thelma Lou, Helen, and Juanita. They're a little camera shy.

The kittens have already established their "home". They live under our huge haystack and frequently disappear there.

Juanita says hi.

I know Isaac looks terribly glum in this photo - but we so rarely get Mom in the pictures I just had to post it!
