June 7 - Kittens

Kittens

When I was a kid I loved finding the baby kittens each spring. The mother cats always had their kittens in the hay loft of the barn. It was an adventure to find the kittens. Once we found them we would spend hours playing with them and making a special home for them.

I guess finding kittens is a genetic thing, because it is a favorite thing for my kids. Each year we have a stray mother cat that makes her home in our barn for her family. The kids usually find the kittens when they are beginning to play and still do not have fear of humans. This year we have four kittens in the barn and of course the boys have them named -- Snickers, Indiana Jones, Runt and Mickey.

A couple of years ago, we had several mother cats that had kittens in the barn. I think we had 11 kittens. The boys thought it would be a good idea to find the kittens new homes. So they set up a Lemonade and Kitten stand on the corner.

Lemonade 50 cents
Kittens $2.50


By the end of the day the sign changed to kittens FREE! The boys had a great time, but they were unable to find homes for the kittens. They did agree that they sold a lot of lemonade that day!
