I've got the two kittens. Right now they are in separate carriers in our bedroom, so they can be separated from our little monsters. Call me (before 4:30) if you want to discuss.

It was so sad, Slinky was walking around crying for them. So sad.

love you,

When I arrived home today, I saw the kittens for the first time in their carriers. This photo pretty much says it all. They're not happy about it. Dan and I reassure ourselves that this is for their own good, that it is in fact possible to introduce these little kittens to the wonders of the domestic life.

A brief shout-out to the wonders of Craigslist: I put an ad up on Craigslist requesting the use of carriers for feral socialization purposes. I got at least 15 -- that's right 15! -- emails from people who supported us in this crazy endeavor, and who offered their carriers for use. One woman brought by a jumbo-sized carrier that must have been used for a Husky or other large-sized dog. Another woman gave us her unused, brand new cat carrier that she received as a gift and didn't ever put to use. Yay to the kindness of strangers.
