houseguest or keeper?

look what my sweet 16 year old brought home...i know he is so sweet and adorable. the girls think our new house guest is a keeper, but i'm not so sure...the inn is getting pretty filled up with "keepers"! the girls are pleading, "but mom, we already named him milo." he's only 4 weeks old, still needs to be fed from a tiny bottle, so he needs a mommy, and sweet 16 year old is only home for about five minutes a day between work, and play! of course her sweet sister is volunteering her services, but somehow milo just landed asleep in a blanket on my computer desk while she and her friends are in the pool - tag i'm it - you guessed it!

well, dandelion is lurking and hissing! and does rosie look too happy about the new "guest"?









clementine would just like a little lick please.





smoochie was a keeper, one of dandelion's babies, because he is our ever agreeable rag doll who got his name because he is a love!







they all are really, even with their quirks.
then there are the two gerbils and a fish, not to mention the various wildlife we have moseying through the yard daily; cat "friends" howling in the night, raccoons, deer, fox, bunnies, squirrels, birds, frogs, and bugs! we truly commune with nature here, it's a regular zoo. soon they are going to call me the crazy cat lady! we'll see what happens when hubby comes home...

Once you bring them into your home they're in your heart. You're kitten smitten! I'm betting he's a keeper...
