Kittens!

We have kittens! It was coming up to Kara's birthday and I couldn't think of anything to buy her (I think she was intentionally holding back on suggestions so there would only be one option left). A friend hooked us up with a woman who had a litter of kittens to sell and we went to look at one on Wednesday night.

I was expecting to have to catch one, but they were all really docile and one immediately attached itself to me. Of course when we came to the point where we were actually going to take the tiny defenceless kitten away from it's mother, we felt cruel and horrible and decided to take the other kitten as well.

They're both female and 12 weeks old. Kara's is called Kami and mine is Waffles. They're settling in really well and doing all sorts of amusing things. The pictures here are terrible because they're from my phone. More (probably many, many more) will be uploaded soon. Kami is the majestic looking one at the top, and Waffles is the lazy one peeking out from behind the sofa. Note the size of the cat relative to my shoe in the background.
