I exchanged emails with Foster cat mom Laurie today. She was taking the kittens in this afternoon for some shots and to be microchipped. She posted the cutest pictures of Henry being a bed hog in the comfy basket he was sharing with his sister, Renatta.
She also told me how Agnes managed to get herself trapped in the lining of their sofa last night and had to be rescued. Poor dear. We're trying to anticipate potential kitten hazards in our house, but I plan on working from home a day or two after they arrive, so I can keep an eye on them.
I hope their check-up and chipping went well. Suddenly, I have more sympathy for expectant/adopting mothers. Whereas Tibet was more of a life partner or a gay best friend, these two feel more like my new kids and I can't wait to have two little fuzzy babies to care for.

Awaiting Their Arrival..
On Sunday my husband Ian and I went to the lovely home of the wonderful and gracious Laurie C. to meet the Pettibone kittens of ittybittykitty committee fame - http://ittybittykittycommittee.blogspot.com/.
All of the kittens were adorable and were piled in the front window when we arrived. We spent an hour playing with and petting them. It was a symphony of purrs.
We'd been obsessively visiting the website, admiring and falling for little Agnes and Carmine the week prior and decided that I 'had' to make contact and see about meeting these kittens. It's been nearly two years since I said good-bye to my beloved 'old man in the cat pajamas', Tibet, and I'm ready for some fuzzy-loving, once again.
Once they've been spayed and neutered, Agnes and Carmine (who we'll call Henry) will come and live with us.
Inspired by Laurie C. and my excitement for having new babies, I thought I'd keep a diary of their lives with us. Who doesn't want to look at pictures of kitties?
