They decided to bring the kittens into the house and take care of them until they can be adopted by others. Bad timing - painters just arrived to touch up some repair work on the outside of the house. Mom reports that Sister Pete had either already left the yard, or the arrival of the painters scared her, 'cause she's gone right now. Mom and Dad went to see the kittens, since they could get closer now. Two little bitty black ones that look like their mom, one grey one that looks like Claire, and one pale grey and white one.
Mom thinks that one's gonna have long hair like their daddy.
Now we're all worried that Sister Pete might not come back to the babies. As you may already know , I was adopted. Mom and Dad found me outside their new house one night and opened their home and their hearts to me. Sadly, my brothers and sisters were too shy and Mom couldn't convince them that they'd be safe and warm inside. They still live in the neighborhood and I see them occasionally, especially since Mommy always puts food out on the patio for them.
