My Babies

Meet Ziva.

And Lola.

These are my babies. I've been wanting to get a kitten to live inside with me for so long now. I can't believe it's finally happened. And I didn't just get one. I have two beautiful, energetic, and lovable kittens. They are so perfect!

I adopted them a few days ago from the Franklin County Humane Society. It was so hard to pick out of the twenty adorable kittens running around in there, but in the end they really picked me.

Ziva was all over me from the minute I walked in. She purred and rubbed and followed me everywhere. I had come in with the intention of getting one, but my dad had come along and couldn't bear the idea of leaving her behind. So Ziva was ours.

I found Lola sleeping by herself on the highest point in the room. And she was solid gray, exactly what I was looking for. I picked her up and she started purring so loud. So adorable!

Ziva came home with us that day and quickly became very comfortable hogging my bed. To the annoyance of Ziva, Lola came home two days later after her surgery. Lola spent the next few days locked up whenever I wasn't around to supervise thanks to an unfortunate case of worms. But she's all better now.

Now they love each other. There is occasional wrestling, which Lola always starts and always loses, but I often see them licking each other's heads and purring non stop.

I'm so happy to have them. They give me something to look forward to in my free time and they definitely help with the loneliness that can come from living so far out in the country away from friends.

Thanks to them, I am well on my way to becoming the crazy cat lady that I've always dreamed of being :)
