Okay, so most of you know that I absolutely HATE(hate may be a little too strong, but it is close) cats. It is just a known fact. If you read the earlier post about our Mice in the house problem, you might have noticed that I received a comment from the only Cat lover on the Vaughan side of the family, Zak, he stated that if we had a cat we most likely wouldn't have the mice problem. Well, Zak must have really prayed hard, because on Friday night, we were eating dinner and we live at the very end of the street in the middle of nowhere and someone stopped in front of our house and dropped a kitten out their car window. At first I was kind of irritated and frustrated, then I let Maggie out of the house to chase it off, but Maggie was all talk (bark), she ran after the cat and the thing swatted at her and she yelped and for the rest of the night she was barking and wouldn't stop unless we put her in the house. The kitten wasn't even afraid of Mags, it would just lay there while Maggie was two feet away barking up a storm. Crazy Dog.
We had Cody's nephews over for a "campout" that night and we had a fire in the fire pit and the kitten walked right up next to the pit and the fire singed its poor tail, it was kind of funny and sad at the same time. So every night since Friday the poor thing has climbed up the brick onto the window ledges and meowed until we would either feed it or give it water. So we now basically have a cat. So thanks Zak, I know I am going against everything I have ever said. I am very disappointed in Cody though, I was in the laundry room on saturday night and Cody was in the garage & I heard him talking to the kitten, so I think maybe Cody and Zak conspired against me. I do have to admit, it is kind of cute, but not so cute I would ever consider actually wanting to hold or pet it.
I know that cats are "supposed" to be good about catching mice, so hopefully this one will be a good mouse catcher. So one day I may just have to teach the thing how to be a ferocious hunter like in the picture below.
Attention Mice: Beware of Cat!

kilee, that is HILARIOUS! Remember your cat blackout from when we were little though? I have to say that you must be the most compassionate of the knight family. You got me hooked on Jet, which by the way, dad admitted to liking him after the backpacking trip. Now, that is AMAZING!
I have to agree with Kandice...this story is hilarious! I laughed out loud when I read this post. But I really do feel quite sorry for you, because I very much dislike mice and cats too! I'm sorry Zak cursed you with a cat! I hope neither of them are around anymore.
