Mommy Instincts

Last night, Bo and I came home to find three very tiny and hungry kittens in our driveway. After talking to my sister (the vet), she estimated that by their size they could be about 4 weeks old. But they really need to eat! One is orange and the other two are grey and white. And I cannot stop worrying about them! Joe seems to be very curious about them but doesn't seem likely to hurt them, other than barking. Amy says I need to introduce them so they aren't afraid of each other, rather than keeping them apart and only making it worse. She's so smart...

So this morning, I had to leave them alone for the day and I was just so sad to go to work. Maybe my maternal instincts are kicking in a bit. I did give them warm milk rather than straight out of the fridge, and I did clean their eyes where they were a bit crusty. I guess I will have to see if they are still around when I get home this evening.

So in celebration of my new found mommy-senses, here is a video that was sent to me a while back. It is the William Tell Overture revised as the Mom Song:

  1. Holy cow, that video is hilarious! And kitties, you have three kitties? They better still be there when you get home. I want to see them! I guess this is Bo's punishment for not letting you get Sam :)
