Kitten? Whaaaat?

  My dad found another wild creature outside yesterday. (Did I ever mention the first one? He found a turtle outside a couple weeks ago that has become an addition to the family.)

   Anyways, yesterday I was cleaning off the front porch and dad was mowing the yard. And he stopped the mower and walked over to the garden and said, "What the heck was that?!" and he picked it up. I walked over there to investigate, and it was a kitten. So me, being nurturing and motherly, (:p) went inside to see if I could find it something to eat, despite my great dislike for cats/kittens.
  I brought it some dog food and milk (because I have no idea what to feed a cat.) and it didn't really eat anything.. And I messed with it a little bit, and held it a while, and then I decided that since it was wet from me spraying it with the hose (whoops)
  I should take it inside and hold it in a towel for a while. So that's what I did.

 Then my sister came home.

Ten year old girl-ness broke loose with an, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! KITTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! CAN WE KEEP IT?! CAN WE KEEP IT?!? PLEASE!!!!!!!!"

  Poor mom. I figured mom would be the bad buy and say that it had to go outside, and she did, but it pretty weak like she didn't actually want to crush Julia's extreme excitement.

  Then last night Julia let it sleep in Maggie's cage (which Maggie didn't really appreciate...) and it has been in the house all day today. So it's been in our house for over 24 hours now. And today, mom (aka: big softy) took Julia to Wal-Mart and bought her a litter pan, litter... stones? I don't know what they're called. And a kitty bed. And kitten food. It made me chuckle inside. That cat is gonna have to stay in Julia's room though. I hate cats, and so do both of my parents, not to mention that mom is really allergic. We're more of dog people...

  So now, we have two huge dogs, one medium-sized dog, a turtle, and a kitten. All in our house that is really not that big to begin with. Sheesh.

Thought bubble RE:

If we could just separate this thing from the humans...

Is it weird that I just posted a picture of my animals with a thought bubble RE? I think it is a little weird. I feel like a creepy animal person now.
