The Cat Hunters

**i typed half of this on Friday before we went to a lake so when I say this weekend, I mean labor day weekend**

What a crazy weekend this was!! I don't have enough finger strength to share all of it with you put I will try to sum it up. monogrammed bags. fedex craziness. sketchy car parts. border wars. pit stop in san antonio. flat in falfurrias. el pato. garage sale. packing. first party. botana. caldo. target. more packing. more el pato. and then finally...cat hunting.

On Monday before we left McAllen we stopped by my parent's house to say goodbye. As soon as we get out of the car, Morgan yells "Stop! Don't come up here!"....excuse me? What is going on?

Then I see the pet taxi with 3 tiny kittens huddled together. My parents started feeding a cat outside their house a year or so ago to help keep little critters away from their house. Well, it has grown into a heard. It was just three cats but then two mama cats had a total of 6 kittens. After two of them died my mom decided they needed to find real homes....and what would be the quickest and easiest way to do so? Oh! catch them and take them to the animal shelter. Little did they know that these tiny kittens were fast...and vicious.

When we arrived to the Ho House (that's what we call my parent's house...and now that i think of it, very fitting with all the kitten mama's running around) Morgan and Mason were on the last kitten. This is what I saw:


This poor kitten did not want to surrender!



The kitten.


SUCCESS!


Yes, they are each wearing gloves. I was a little confused but Mason (on the right) got bite by the first kitten he caught. These two were quite a pair. One has special needs and the other has a degenerative eye disease and is about to have a cornea transplant. Not your typical cat hunting team...but like usual...they won't let anything get in their way.


Poor kittens didn't want to go...but they will go to good homes.


Daisy wanted her picture taken too!
