a tale of two kitties

So this tale begins in Indiana where Jessica's very pregnant, and very wild, farm cat gave birth to 4 kittens....
 Kathryn, Damaris, and Jake's oldest boys took a weekend trip to visit Jessica, and she called her mama with a question. "Can I send a kitten back for Dennis?" she asked. After Martin and Rose deliberated, they gave permission. Aunt Joy overheard the plans and suggested that they could also bring one for Hadassah at the same time.
 So now the kittens are doing well and have adopted Theodore Roosevelt (aka Teddy) as their mama and are living happily.
They do have the normal little infected eyes that kittens seem prone to. Dennis washes their eyes with a saline solution that he mixes up and sometimes puts antibiotic drops in too.

Until now the kitties have been drinking only raw milk, but today we picked up a bag of kitty feed at Wal-Mart. They dove right in and ate a good amount.
