If you wish hard enough, sometimes your dreams do come true

PS is obsessed with cats. She talks all the time about getting a cat. She has cat posters all over her room. When we went to the library this week, she got books all about cats. So she pretty much thought it was Christmas morning when one of the neighbors knocked on the door to tell us that something was screaming in our flowerbeds. Turns out that something was a litter of kittens. It was pouring rain and they were getting soaked. They don't even have their eyes open, and look to be only a day or two old.

I have no idea what to do with a litter of kittens. I bought kitten formula and a bottle, but they won't take it. I'm terrified that they are going to die and that I will have to explain the circle of life to the kids. Besides the fact that keeping little little girls away from tiny kittens is almost impossible. Even if we get them to feed, I'm afraid my girls might love them to death.

It's always something around here.

Try using a medicine syringe if they're that small and refuse to suck on a bottle.

Oh yikes! Can you call a vet for advice?
