My husband and I have no children and have been pet free since childhood. I have not had any desire to be a pet owner in the past. Well Tuesday night, my husband comes home from work with 2 kittens who were left by their mother and owners in an apartment and a neighbor brings them to work. They had been left alone for about a week with the neighbor giving them kitten food but no interaction. Sooooo, I didn't have the heart to leave them either. I took them to the vet the next day, got them checked out and given shots etc. Miraculously, they were tick-free and healthy other than having hook worms. So got them medicated for that and brought them inside the house since I knew they were "safe". They are 12 week old males and from the first minute were very loving and attention-seeking babies. They do play with each other a lot and fight like crazy but will end up sleeping all over each other during the day and at night. That goodness they have each other. They do love on both my husband and I quite a bit, I think too much, but I know that they have not had any loving so we do it.
Thank you for helping me out already. i know that I will here a lot!!
