Update on the Kittens.

I wasn't going to post about the kittens until tomorrow because, well, this makes my third post of the day, but something has come up.

I mentioned before that we may be kitten-sitting for about a week. A teacher at my mom's school adopted a couple of kittens for her two little boys, but she wanted them to be a surprise for Christmas, so my mom offered to take care of them until then. They were adopted from the Humane Society just yesterday.

The female cat, which I've nicknamed Precious, wasn't feeling very well today. She pretty much laid on my lap all day and was breathing faster than I thought she should. So when my mom got home, we decided we should call up Precious' owner, Ms. K, and take her to the vet. After a few tests were run on Precious, she has been found to have pneumonia. Right now she is at the emergency vet on oxygen. They said she has a 50% chance of survival, which isn't too bad, but isn't that great either.

I know this may seem silly to write a post about a sick cat, but this kitten is just so sweet and I know that she will be a wonderful companion for one of those little boys while their family goes through some hard times financially and emotionally. I just really hope that she gets the chance to become a comfort for those two sweet boys.

Meanwhile, the male kitten, whom I call Lester, is doing very well, and is very playful and sweet. I'm hoping that Precious gets the chance to be a playful kitty like her brother.

Here are a few pictures of them cuddling this morning on the couch.
