See, you didn’t do [this](http://www.bonsaikitten.com/) soon enough. Then you’d still have kittens!

Just kidding, of course.

You’re in trouble now. Pretty soon you’re going to have two 20-pound furballs who think Mommy’s lap is the _only_ good place to nap.  
Sucker. 😉

I just came in to point out that Casa del Heloise & Coldie isn’t quite fitting. How about Casa del Hel-Fire? 😃

Aw, the cute widdle kitties! Pet pet pet pet!

Ahem. Now to re-assume my usual air of dignity and grace.

I need kitties! As soon as I move out of here…

Having recently visited **Coldfire** & **Heloise** , I can testify that Jules and Vincent are, in fact, tremendously cute. Tiny, clumsy, and fuzzy, they alternately bound and climb around their home and curl up in the lap of a nearby human to doze. They have claws, which are surprisingly surprising when they try to climb your leg.

- thump \*

(The sound of one of them stepping unsuspectedly off the table, falling sideways off a thigh, or leaping from someone’s hand face-first into the back of the couch.)

I heard that a lot while I was there 😃
