Kaiti sent in this picture of her new kittens, Socrates and Nietzsche. We will let Kaiti tell you about her wonderful kitties in her own words. The names of these cute cats did put us in a philosophical frame of mind, so we leave you with this philosophical riddle: If a can of tuna is opened in the forest, and no kitties are around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Kaiti’s notes:
Just last week, my husband, daughters, and I adopted a pair of 7-week-old Calico twin sisters, and they are just too adorable to pass up! It’s very amusing to watch them, as they have two very different temperaments. They are named Socrates (she has the white paws and pink nose), and Nietzsche (with the black paws and black nose), and they really do fit the personality of the philosophers they were named for!
Socrates is the observer, who needs more rest, and seems to have endless curiosity. Nietzsche is the trouble-maker, always trying to escape through the screen door, and she’ll push you to your last nerve.
For whatever reason, Socrates seems to have adopted my husband as her “person”, and Nietzsche has, likewise, adopted me as hers. What spectacular additions to our family!
We live in Massillon, Ohio, and also have a 7-year-old orange tabby cat named McGee. She is gradually warming up to the baby kittens.
