We Got Kittens!

Yes, that's right, Jason and I got kittens. Not just one, but two! They're brother and sister and they're utter sweethearts. We've been talking about getting a cat for about a year now, and after seeing our little guys at Team Cat Rescue we knew we'd found our match! We had only intended to get one kitten, but they have a policy that kittens must be adopted in pairs. Now I can't imagine only having one! They get along so well and yet have such individual personalities, and watching them play together is one of the cutest things I've ever seen!
