A new part of our family

 We had a black cat named Mylo who we had for 6 years and he went outside 1 night about 2 weeks before Christmas last year and he never came back. We were all very sad. We have lived without a cat since then, and it still feels like there is a void without him here.My man and I had started talking about getting another cat a few months ago, and our mind was made up that we would be getting a cat when we came back from visiting Grammie and Gran Bob. They have two cats, Bill and Joe, and they are great cats. The kids were always playing with them. The first thing they would do when they woke up at 6 am in the morning was run to the cupboard where Grammie stores the cat food, and put food in each of the cats bowls. Joe is always acting like he has been starving forever and pretty much drowns his face in the bowl. (he does get fed twice a day) and they both enjoy killing birds and squirrels and throwing them all over the backyard..the poor dead little creatures are left as token of love in front of the sliding glass window. One night when Tante Emi was heading to bed in the huge tent in the back yard, she almost stepped on a decapitated squirrel. She wasn't impressed like the cats probably thought she would be. My man and I decided that we should get a cat from a shelter. So last week the kids and me went to the Humane Society and looked at the cats. There is no shortage to pick from. That's for sure! They had a cat room, which housed close to 50 cats who just roamed around that big room, and then they had a kitten room which housed about 40ish kittens who are all in cages. According to one of the women who work there, the kittens hardly ever get out and are in there mostly 24/7. sad. The kids were immediately attracted to a little black and white kitten who was maybe 6 weeks old. So cute. as soon as she got out of the cage and saw the other kittens she started hissing wildly. We gave her a try in the "social room" (where you can play with an animal you pick) and she ended up not being a good fit for us. We were there for a couple of hours, just looking and trying and I asked one of the girls that works there if she had any ideas about a cat that would fit for us, and I told her we wanted an active cat, that the kids could play with, and she came back with Toro. Very wild and playful. I asked her about him and she said he had a brother, and would I like to see him too, so of course being the softie that I am, I said sure. So she brought Bane in and they look identical except that toro looks like he has a black mo hawk and Bane ha striped going down his head. Well, they were a perfect match for us, and they have adjusted well to this house and the kids and are always chasing and playing with each other and when they sleep,  they always sleep close to each other. They have been in the Humane Society and they are now 4 months old. I just couldn't separate them. By the way, we are not going to be keeping their names..Micaiah wants to name Toro 'Sneeky Pants' because that's what describes him best, and Bane..well he wont be keeping that name for sure! So introducing our new nameless kittens.....
