Kittens!

Lisa’s cat, Sadie, ended up getting out the night before she was scheduled to get "tutered" (fixed). She was in heat and I guess she was bound and determined to find a way to get out. Just our luck, wouldn't you know she'd get knocked up! So several weeks later we ended up with a litter of five kittens. The kids got a kick out of having kittens to play with. But as soon as they were old enough we found good homes for four of them. We ended up keeping one kitten because it had six toes on each front paw. It was so cute and freaky that we just had to keep him. We initially called him "Thumbs" because his extra appendages would stick out (like sore thumbs) when he walks. Then we called him "Darwin", and then finally settled on Hemmingway because Ernest Hemmingway had a lot of six toed cats. But I just call him Ernie.
