Last week in “The Days of Our Nine Lives,” MJ the Chihuahua was telling the cats about her perfect-pet qualities.
Olivia: MJ, we all agree that you are adorable, but you just might be knocked off your pedestal very soon.
MJ: Really? It probably won’t be by Mishka. It looks as though he might be leaving us for a forever family this coming weekend. We’ll
know for certain Sunday.
Olivia: I hope it works out for Mishka. He’s an awesome husky.
Heavenly Whiskers: The kittens are coming! The kittens are coming!
Bobbie: Oh, terrific. There goes my peace and quiet.
MJ: Ah, so that’s who you think will knock me off of my perfect pedestal.
Olivia: Yep. Five adorable kittens will be showing up this week, and they’re pretty spoiled.
London: How are they spoiled? Aren’t all ARF cats spoiled? We’re all treated very well, you know.
Heavenly Whiskers: For weeks they have been bottle-fed by some very dedicated ARF volunteers, namely Janet and Bonnie.
Bobbie: Even better: spoiled kittens. Kittens always get the attention, but these have demanded more attention than any of us have.
London: Bobbie, it’s not their fault. They had no mommy to feed them. It’s a good thing ARF was here to help.
MJ: I guess now ARF will have to get them ready to join forever families.
Heavenly Whiskers: They’ll probably be adopted pretty quickly, once they’re ready. They’re super cute.
Olivia: Once again, do I need to remind people how cute I am? Kittens-schmittens. I’m not even a year old.
MJ: And how about this Chihuahua? I will keep a lap warm just as well as any cat.
Will Bobbie learn to love the kittens? Will Mishka leave ARF this weekend with a forever family? Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “The Days of Our Nine Lives” each week.
