    Doing Christmas crafts with the girls will be something they will always remember. I do them with my granddaughter, who is 8. I have her a few days a week after school. So much fun.

    Kristen, I think you need to give in and allow those kittens to become indoor cats. The girls love them and it is very cold outside. The cats will be mousers for you in the house.

      It would be lovely if they did that, but I suspect that they won’t. They will be as intended, unneutered barn cats.

    • @KristenHoffman

      We are still intending them to be barn cats, but we will be neutering them.

      I love cats but haven’t gotten 1 in years due to hair and smell. I don’t blame her. I’m sure she will always make sure they’re warm and sage in the cold months. Also as long as the kids keep interacting with them they’ll still be pets and get to come in from time to time!
