[It was interesting,](http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g161/twickster/kitties/?action=view¤t=2007_0826kitties0025.jpg) but they were [hungry afterwards.](http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g161/twickster/kitties/?action=view¤t=2007_0826kitties0001.jpg) ---

Kittens! 🙂 🙂 They are cute. I was at someone’s apartment yesterday, and he mentioned that he knew someone with kittens to give away. I was _soooo_ tempted… ---

Go for it. Kittens are fun – and the two of them keep each other very well entertained, so they haven’t been destructive (knock on wood). And **eleanorigby** – Jez is goofy looking, fer sher, but she’s got a certain _jolie laide_ charm ---

When this monstrosity we have dies, I will be the one who picks out the next cat (the kids picked this one out–Simon’s ok, but he’s not a gray tabby). ---

[QUOTE=Ogre] Then I take it that’s a “yes.” [/QUOTE] Take it as a “let’s not start that battle again in this thread about how cute my kittens are.” **Dung Beetle** – I had a coworker 30+ years ago whose son was named Zebulon, and I thought it would make a great name for a cat. (My last cat, Elvis, turned out to be more an Elvis than a Zebulon, so it was still available.) Then, when I decided to get two, and the two turned out to be a boy and a girl … what else could I name her but Jezebel? 😃 ---
