Our lawn has had a rough year. First the toadstool invasion. Then the irrigation system that provides water to our sprinkler system has been overwhelmed, causing little to no water throughout the summer. Then we discovered billbugs when we ripped our sod up to put in the hedge. Last night when I was emptying the kiddie pool, I stepped in something. A hole. More specifically, a vole hole. That's when I noticed something. There were a lot of holes. Since my children are the type to break their fingers in vole traps and eat poison for fun, we've decided to go the natural route. Free kittens.
We have bad luck with cats. They flee our house. The first kitten our neighbors stole. She told us, "Your cat was happier at our house then yours." Probably true. The next one lived with us for six months, before he followed Parker to school and never returned. But ever confident, that someday a cat will find us tolerable to live with, Parker and McKay each got a new kitten today. We'll see how long these ones last. As Chris put it, "If they keep running away, then we will be helping to start a feral cat colony that will keep the voles down anyway."

Parker's kitten is especially cute.
It's hard to tell what McKay's kitten looks like, but Parker's is cute. I see the Dr. Pepper on the table.So much for one a day.
I love that name KitKat! That is so cute. Good luck with the kitties.
