Ranch Livin'

Living on a ranch, my grandma always has stray cats running around, these stray cats always have kittens running around, my grandma always tells the young children that if they can catch a kitty they can take it home with them. This last time we were there, there were two different litter of kittens.
My niece Addison did a great job tracking the kittens down and bringing them around for all they young kids to hold. My boys absolutely loved these kittens. they played with them, hugged them, and squeezed them.Of course my parents told my boys the story of when I sat on a cat and killed it ---I was three. I was doing what my older sister was doing, but I failed to realize that she was just pretending to sit on them. Ya, it gave me weight issues for years afterwards.
My cousin's little girl was so sad to leave the kittens when she had to go home.
My grandma told my cousin to just take a kitten, let the girl play with it in the car and when it dies, just roll the window down and toss it out.
when --not if
Living on a ranch gives people a very different perspective.
Addison did end up taking one kitten home with her.
We watched him for a couple of days. He sure was cute and the boys did enjoy him.
