We had a pet for a day, or at least a couple of hours. This little kitten followed me and Alex home from the bus stop. Caleb and Leah were amused watching this kitten climb up into the windowsill. Every time it would jump up, Leah would flinch. She thought it was going to jump onto her even though there was glass there. Caleb said, "Watch mom! He follows me!" He would walk to the other side of the window and the cat would follow. When they would look at the cat's face they noticed that his eyes would squint and Caleb thought they looked like Chinese eyes. So, that's how they named him Squinty the Chinese Cat. When we ate dinner Squinty disappeared and the kids wondered if he would come back. Caleb wanted to save the cat to give to Aunt Denise for her "cat collection". Squinty did come back when Denise and Robin came over, but Denise said she didn't have room for the kitty. Maybe he'll come back and visit again.
