After finding a mouse in the house awhile back, we decided it was immediately time to get some cats. We brought our old Houston cat Kitty over from my parents' house but decided that wasn't enough. So we started looking on Craigslist. We found 3 free cats that sounded perfect. With us taking Kitty, my mom was also in the market for a new cat or 2 so we went to check these out. It was a pretty wild experience having to capture and then wrangle the 3 cats into boxes but we finally did it. It was really a pretty hilarious experience. Despite their initial wild cat attitudes when we tried to catch them, they have turned out to be the cutest and sweetest cats. We just LOVE them! I should also mention that Mike finally got his true initiation into the Hendricks family when he and my dad went to the clinic and spayed all of them. We are still working on finalizing names and are committed to not end up with another "Kitty."
The gray kitten. This was originally going to be my mom's. However, she and the other kitten are so attached that my mom decided to let us keep her. YAY!!! So, now we are checking out Craigslist for more kittens for her. She is the softest kitty and is real lovey. This picture doesn't do her justice.
The black kitten. This kitty put up a major fight when we caught her and we have no doubt she will be our best mouser. She has the loudest purr though and and is really sweet. I love how she has black teardrop markings below her eyes.
This is the mama kitty. We don't know that she really is the mom but she takes on that role. She is just gorgeous with really green eyes and is the most lovable cat I've ever met. She prefers being outside to being on the screen porch we have designated for the crew. However, she comes running in from wherever she is when we call her.
The "mama" cat follows us when we go on walks which I just love!
Kenley just LOVES when they climb in the trees.
This shot just totally captures what a lovebug the "mama" cat is. Despite Kenley picking her up in not so gentle manner, she still loves her just as much as any of us. That was why I couldn't give her up to my mom. . . I know I'm selfish.
Kenley loves to try and help out. We do allow her to bring them their food (they are major pigs) but we don't allow her to clean the litter box though occasionally she gets a hold of the scoop.

How cute! *Almost* makes me want to get a cat. Too bad Cora is allergic to them.
Whoa, you guys are brave. Although I guess maybe, just MAYBE I would consider a cat if I found a mouse in the house. (Knocking on wood right now.)
