Flashback Friday - Kittens

My mom got a kitten last year and she just had her first little of her own. Three adorable little kittens. All the grand kids love playing with them. Here are some pictures of the kids with two of them.

Claire isn't sure if she likes them or not so grandpa was helping her.

Now for the flashback...

We always had at least 1 cat growing up. We had SO many pets. A dog, a cat (or two), a guinea pig, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, goldfish, frogs, a snapper turtle...and I'm sure I've missed a few. We didn't have all of these pets at the same time. But we had a dog, a cat and at least one other pet all the time. (I could write story after story about our pets growing up and I should so I have them all documented because they are hilarious.)

This is a picture of Patches and one of her litters. Oh how I loved our calico Patches. She was the best cat. She was queen of the house and we would carry her around on a pillow. She was an amazing hunter and every time she had kittens in order to teach them she would bring injured but still alive animals in the house (mice, a baby bird, a baby bunny, moles, etc). She would let her kittens play with them then she would kill them - totally disturbing!!! I remeber crying for hours when I found patches on the side of the road dead. I loved that cat and didn't really like any other cats we had after her.

Notice the sweet perm? It was my first perm ever and I HATED it. Sherry always called me a poodle and I would cry! My mom threatened me with a perm if I didn't start fixing my hair - and as you can see she won that battle.
