Double Trouble, at least for the Sisters

So, what was behind the orange door?

Before we get to that, we want to state again we were given permission to kitten shop. We do admit, this was a bad idea on someone’s part (Ed) and if you make bad mistakes like that in life you get what you deserve (Ed). Saying, after the fact, that you thought your wife and her sister were adults and could be trusted does not absolve you of making such a mistake. It really doesn’t.

Now, on to the orange door . . .

Pleased to meet you!

We went through the orange door and made a right as instructed. We averted our eyes from the puppies because we were not given permission to puppy shop (See, we can be trusted in some areas.) We entered the cat room and waited for someone to approach us before we started touching because that’s what happened in the other shelters. A lady whirled by and told us to look around. Totally unchaperoned! Like we could be trusted. Like adults, Ed. Just sayin’.

We started slowly, looking in every cage for kittens. As you’ll recall, we’d about given up all hope of finding one. About three quarters of the way through, we’d seen some very pretty cats but no kittens. And then, there before our eyes were two of the most adorable kittens you have ever seen! Ever. They were beautiful. We waited for someone to come back so we could touch them. The lady returned and told us to go right ahead and open any of the cages and pet all the kitties we liked. We did as we were told for the second time this year.

We scooped them right out and snuggled them. We snuggled them good. They were twelve weeks old and from the same litter. They looked like twins. We couldn’t imagine how we were going to pick one and leave the other – so, ummmmmmmm, we didn’t. We took them both. How heartless would it have been to separate them? They are twins for goodness sake, Ed.

We knew it was meant to be when they told us they were buy one get one free. (Readers of this blog know Ed loves a bargain.) Actually, Victor, one of the workers offered to throw in a third cat if we wanted. And we wanted except Ava wanted to remain married to Ed and knew she was already about to be on thin ice.

Here’s the moral to this story – if you don’t want more than you were bargaining for, don’t send the Sisters out shopping for animals. No good can come from it.

And here they are – Milo and Loki. The newest members of the Ava Bright family.
