"What are you doing with that box?" asked the first. "Throwing it away," was the reply. (You know that is a real language-learning milestone when you can overhear conversations.) So Craig presses the family onward to the hardware store.
A few minutes later we were looking for what the hardware store didn't have when we met the box lady coming around a corner. Then guess what we met. Two little-bitty kittens.
Obviously, after a short debate we loaded up the kittens and brought them home. Then we discovered our little darlings have bellies full of worms. How is that for payback? YUCK! That discovery was made after this touching photo was taken:
Turns out the dropper was not only unnecessary, it was also ineffective. They did much better when we threw them a chicken leg since these are wily street cats. Now I know some of you buy into the urban legend that you should never give a cat chicken bones but these are Asian cats ... practically tigers; so there is nothing to worry about. No one got choked. But it turns out Caleb is allergic.
So that is how we became rescuers of helpless kittens. We know, we know. We are some of the best people ever.
P.S. We have given some deworming medicine in case you wondered.

Kittens are so cute. The only problem with them is that they grow up to be cats. Did you keep them?
We still have the cats thus far. Funny... I said the exact same thing you did about the kittens.. they turn into cats. We will see how long we can keep them, Caleb's eyes may not take much longer.
I'm in agreement with you and Richie!
