Introducing Phineas and Ferb

Well, before we moved I decided I wanted to get a kitten. I have loved cats ever since I had one growing up and I was happy to find out that Brandon's not allergic, didn't mind the idea of getting one, and our new apartment complex would let us. We found a lady up here whose cat just had kittens and so we decided to go take a look. When we looked at the kittens for the first time we were still thinking of only getting one, but while we were looking at the kittens, Brandon felt like we should get two, and after thinking about it we decided it was a good idea. It was a little more money (not for them, they were free, just for the vet, food, etc) but we thought it would be nice for them to have a friend to play with when we were not there.We had to wait until they were old enough to leave their mother, but we finally got them. Their names are Phineas and Ferb. They are a lot of fun to play with and very sweet. 

Over the first few days we got a lot of scratches on our hands from playing with them. We finally decided to try clipping their little baby nails which has made all the difference. So now we have two little kittens and we love them. They love to play with each other, which mostly consists of chasing each other and wrestling, and when they get tired they curl up on our laps and fall asleep. They are so cute. 

We took them to the vet last monday to get their first shots. They hate car rides, and Phineas is very vocal about it. He likes to whine the entire time. Phineas weighs a whopping 2 lbs while Ferb only weighs 1.8 lbs.  They are little guys and very curious, Phineas more so than Ferb sometimes. Phineas liked to explore the counter while Ferb hid in the pet carrier until we dragged him out for his exam. The vet found them to both be healthy.

Our apartment complex was having a cutest pet contest for the month of February, because it was pet appreciation month. We were able to submit their picture right before the deadline, and we found out yesterday that we came in first place for the cats. As a prize we get a $75 credit towards rent for March and maybe a gift card to Petsmart. We were really excited that we won, though Brandon said he wasn't surprised because we had the only kittens, and they are just really cute. Below are some pictures and a video of our two new little friends.
Phineas likes his ribbon. When he gets it into his mouth he starts growling at you, kind of cute.



This picture won the cutest pet contest. Phineas is on the bottom and Ferb is on top.

Taking a snooze in Brandon's arm

Taking a snooze on my arm, while we were playing wii. I discovered that  1.8 lbs gets pretty heavy after a while ;)

They like to run underneath our table and play with each other, but they are going to be to big to do that in no time.


Taking another snooze side by side.
Here is a collection of videos of their cute meows.

Ah so cute! I'm glad you got something to take care of- we got a dog a year after we got married and it really helped fill that desire- sort of anyway. I want to invent an animal that starts as a kitten and turns into a dog...
