...that I didn't actually get. Mike & Elicia let a cat adopt them a while ago, not knowing it was pregnant. This is one of the kittens and in an attempt to not get attached, they hadn't given him a name. 5chw4r7z decided to call him "Erin Marie's future kitten". He was so relaxed here, purring loudly and I was in love. I let my better judgement take over- I knew if we brought this little guy home, he'd be into everything we'll be packing up over the next few weeks.

Merry Christmas

Last year 5chw4r7z and I took the parents 5chw4r7z to Krohn Conservatory to see their Christmas display. Santa was there and the parents made a comment on how long it had been since any of their kids sat on Santa's lap. We didn't sit on his lap, but we did have a little visit with him.



Santa: I'd guess you two want trips, cars and houses.
Ms5chw4r7z: I want a kitten!
5chw4r7z: And I want some good cigars.
Santa: Well, that's some reasonable requests!
