Here's a kitty pic - taken right after we got them...
We got them to be outside cats. I'm not a fan of litter boxes and cat hair. And really I'm not too fond of adult cats... kitties are cute - who couldn't like a kitty? I'm just really hoping these three will be expert mousers. Otherwise I'm gonna be sorely disappointed.
The problem is I think I'm creating a family of cat lovers... and I'm not sure how I feel about that. :) But NO - I cannot get them a dog yet. Thanks for the suggestion though. Maybe in a few years, but at this point we have 6 chickens, 2 hermit crabs, 3 cats, and a fish -

I'm a cat lover--Brandon is too. We got that way at the farmhouse we rented in Millersburg b/c our landlords had 2 friendly barn cats. We got our own cats in January/February after we moved to Fulton. Ours too are outside cats and one of them is quite good at killing little animals--moles, birds--maybe a little too good.
We have had a hard last week and a half. Our beloved Veronica was hit and killed by a car last Sunday and Wendy was discovered this Monday morning crouching in our shed with a broken pelvis. Wendy is ok and healing in the bathroom and may end up all winter inside since November/December isn't a great time to reacclimate to the outdoors.
This is not to depress you and I promise we are not terrible cat owners, but guard them carefully and I really hope your road is less traveled than ours, or your cats are more clever than ours:) It's so sad to see them hurting and semi-amazing to me how much you can grow attached to them.
