Two Kittens Picture Gallery: Jack and Mindy

My husband and I adopted Jack from an animal shelter in Windsor, CT when he was just four months old. He became very lonely after we went to work everyday, so we went back to the shelter and adopted his sister (from the same litter), Mindy, so he would not be lonely anymore. He loves to wash and care for her and is happy that we went back and got her. He is very sweet and photogenic. Jack loves to watch TV. He loves to watch baseball, especially the Red Sox, and he loves to watch Meerkat Manor on the Animal Planet channel. When we pet Jack, he licks our fingers and blinks his eyes at us. He rolls onto his back for us to scratch is chest. He just loves it! Jack loves to play a game with me, and follows me around when he feels like playing, as if he is telling me he wants to play! I dangle a piece of blue fishing line high over my head and he jumps very high like a gymnast or an acrobat! He is a very talented young boy, we love him and are very proud of him.

My husband and I adopted Mindy a week after we adopted Jack. She is the "baby" of the two. She loves to cuddle and comes when we call her name. She blinks at us constantly and we blink back. She rolls over onto her back for a tummy scratch. When she does that, I call her my "bunny." She has white fur underneath her, which reminds me of bunny fur. She loves to sleep on our bed with us, whereas Jack is more independent. Sometimes she cannot decide whose lap she wants to sit on. She goes back and forth jumping on my lap and then my husbands. She licks us constantly. Sometimes she nibbles on the ends of my fingers as if she is cleaning me. I tell her "bedtime" stories of when we first adopted her and when I do this, she licks my nose. She loves to lick my husband's goatee, she is cleaning him and that is so sweet! She is a very sweet girl and we love her so much.

We are so happy and fortunate that we have these two additions to our family…
