Grace discovered the newborn kittens on our patio Thursday afternoon and her excited shouts shattered the peace and quiet of the whole neighborhood: "The cat had babies! The cat had babies!"
Approximately 1.75 seconds later our doorbell rang and just about every kid on our block came stampeding through the house to see the new kittens.
I actually felt sorry for that cat as this noisy mob of kids crowded around her, all shouting at the same time: "Can I have one? Can I have one of your cats?"
"Those are NOT my cats," I said, but my voice was drowned out by more excited shouts. "There's another one! She had another one!"
A couple of the kids grabbed hands and began dancing for joy around the backyard. Here are some pictures of their ecstatic celebration.
