Lovely new kittens

I think you could say I'm a cat person. It's a family thing I guess... My late grandmother was the classical cat person you find in every street. She didn't only owned a few cats, but her whole house was filled with them and they were everywhere. Cats on coffee mugs, plates, on sweaters, as a vase, on the doormat, we even called her Grandma cat, so you get the idea.

My parents are more the cat rescuers types. Back when they lived in Amsterdam, they saved loads of street cats that needed help, fed the starving ones, gave some a safe place to live, took some to the vet when needed.

I'm not that sort of cat person though. I don't have mugs with them, or take them off the streets (as much as I would like to). But in my world, a house can only turn into a warm home with a cat.

I always owned a cat, but sadly (for me), I had to leave my cat at my parents place when I moved this summer. She loves her own safe house & the dog and I will never take that away from her.

So, we've been searching around for an old cat. I thought that would be a great idea to give an old one a loving home, but I found out it's hard to find an inside cat. You see, we love in a city with people that hate animals so much they do awful things to them. Not far behind our house passes a train every 15 minutes, that's next to a highway and we live close to a busy road with big busses. Not so nice and safe for an old outside cat. So with a doubtful mind, this Sunday we took off to a little town and bought ourselves two adorable kittens. Jack Bauer and Lisa (named after Lisa Hannigan). A boy & girl and they are so cute together. We took two because we both work and this way they don't have to be alone.

I do feel bad because I wanted one from the shelter, there are already so many unwanted cats in the world, waiting for a nice home. My parents tell me Jack Bauer & Lisa also needed a home and they found a good one. I guess they're right, we are good for them and already love them so much. I just need some time to think of it that way...
