Welcome Mittens!

Yes, for all of you that know me I swore I would never own a cat right? Well, welcome Mittens as the newest member of the Hollinger family. Katelyn has been begging for years to have a cat and has loved every type of cat out there. Thinking that with my allergies to cats I would be safe I have just always told her that sorry we just can’t have one. As you can see I have lost the battle and after hearing the argument that I am allergic to Peppy (our guinea pig) and we still have him I gave in.

Mittens is about 5 months old and was rescued by a family that just was not able to keep him. He is mostly black but has white paws and white markings on his nose, chin, and belly. Already being mauled by Shawn and Katelyn and unable to try and check out his new environment. Brian about lost it when Mittens was downstairs and jumped behind the TV entertainment center using his game counsel as his landing point. Brian jumped from the couch to get him out of there faster than you would think is possible. Now our goal tonight is to find a way of keeping Mittens out from behind there but not sure yet how to accomplish it. This may be a tricky problem to fix but we will find a way.


If anyone has ideas on cats I would love to hear them where this is my first experience of owning one. Thank goodness he is already litter box trained!

How cute! Cats are so easy - it makes me wish I had one!

I wish I had a good suggestion for you. This is why my cats have free rain of the basement and are never on the main floor. It was my only solution.
