Kittens, Work, The 5 Minute Show and Kittens...

It has been one hectic-ass week here at ThePete HQ! A week ago today we found those 3 kittens underneath our building. I've forgotten how much effort kittens are. Feedings several times a day and attention when they feel like whining (or the discipline to ignore them when they do). Been trying to look for more work while attempting to jazz up certain aspects of this site, but the kitties ae just taking a lot out of me. TheWife seems to be holding up fine, but I know I'm not the only one worried about the finances. :) So, Saturday I set up a custom theme for any posts in TheFunnies category, which I think looks pretty good--you can check it out here: http://thepete.com/category/thefunnies

Then on Sunday TheWife did the hard part and wrote this week's episode of The 5 Minute Show and she even hosted it! It was fun being on the other side of the camera for an episode. It's currently rendering in Final Cut right now and should be done and posted later today. (I think you did a great job, honey!)

As I'm typing this I've got the last of the three kittens to survive. We got fed up last night and ate two of them for dinner.

NOOOO, I'm kidding!!

A friend of TheWife's claimed two of them leaving us with "the laid back" one. We named them all just so we would know which kitten we were talking about and the one we still have we call "Skoshi." That's the Japanese word for "a little." As in "a little bit." I suggested the name assuming we'd not be keeping him/her (still can't tell) for more than a few days. Of course, now this one's totally grown on me and I don't want to give him away. He's so chill generally and seems like my kind of cat.

I need more "chill" in my life. :D

Another friend of TheWife's is interested in him/her but he can't take the kitty for a few weeks while he moves into a new pad. I'm thinking we should just keep Skoshi. I've grown attached to him/her and I don't like the idea of keeping him around for three weeks (or so) only to have to give him up after all that time. I think Skoshi is taking the loss of his siblings roughly and I don't want to uproot him again.

Last night when we put him in the cat carrier (he's too small to be left alone) he mewed and mewed for about an hour until he fell asleep. This morning when TheWife got up Skoshi was awake and mewing again. She had to run out to an audition so the poor thing was left by himself and kept mewing. I had to get up and pay attention to him or he'd never shut up. Of course, I was up until 5am working on the show, so I am about to fall over as I type this. Luckily, Skoshi has fallen asleep in my lap, so I'm hoping I'll be able to get him over to the cat carrier and then I'll climb back into bed for a couple hours.

Or not! I cracked my knuckles and he's awake again. Damn cat's too much like me. Wakes up on a dime...

OH well... wish us luck deciding what to do with this guy! (If you feel like helping with his vet visit, the "support TP.C" link above will tell you how. :D

I hope to get back to blogging/vlogging more soon and watch for the newest t5MS later today...

In the Los Angeles Area? Want a Kitten or Three?

Yesterday afternoon TheWife and I found three little kittens in our storage locker under our apartment building. The mom was underneath the building itself and we couldn't get to her, but we felt that leaving the kittens under there wouldn't be a good idea since the locker is just feet from where the cars are parked--plus it's been getting colder again. Anyway, so we're caring for them for a day or two while we find either a shelter/foster home for them or an actual home.

Needless to say, they're adorable.







What one? Or all three? Know of a good adoption place that can take them off of our hands? We'd love to keep them except that we've already got two adult cats and one very small apartment. Even if you don't want one, do you know anyone in the area who might?

Thanks for any help in finding these guys homes!!
