Cool little kitties! I'm glad you decided to go through with it. I think some kittens will be good for Bradlee, where another grown cat might have caused undue stress. I betcha after awhile the fatherly instinct kicks in! Plus you get to enjoy the climbing kitties all over again, and watching the cute battles between the twins and their new big friend!

I am now 100% against de-clawing. I did have it done a long time ago and never again. I've learned more about it since then, but I mostly would never do it again because of what it did to my cat. The poor thing limped and crawled around the house for 3 days and just never seemed the same again.
