meow

good friends are blessings in so many ways.

like when they give you a cat. the nyhofs thoughtfully bestowed upon us this fine specimen of feline:

as you can see, the boys cannot stand the thing. just kidding, they adore little inky. every morning they awake thinking of her and really do not tire of playing with her at every opportunity they get.we save our leftovers and bring them out for the "kiki" as bear calls her. this cat is so very tolerant. boys do not play gently with kittens apparently. maxer and bear often throw the kitty, grab it by its tail, and force its little face into a dish of milk or water or whatever food i happen upon to donate to inky's cause.

after several attempts to allow inky freedom, she just keeps coming back.

trust me, meiste boys can be extremely charming!
