Vive la France!

So, if you weren't aware, i was in France for the past week or so. It was, as expected, fabulous. I'll maybe post more on it later, but i just wanted to show you all why it was so wonderful.

First, a little background. My parents rented a villa in the south of France, near Avignon, in a little town called Le Thor. We were told that there was cat on the property, but for the first few days we were there, we saw a black and white cat occasionally, but it ran off every time it saw us, so we figured it was feral. Once it even snuck into the kitchen and ate some of our cheese :) Anyways, then one night, we were sitting out on the terrace and having dinner and a black and white kitty showed up and started meowing at us. I, of course, started petting it and discovered it was skin and bones. So i fed it. And it snarfed like i have never seen a cat snarf before. This poor thing was starving. So i kept feeding it.

And the cat was black and white with a cute little black mustache, so we name it Adolph (yeah, as in Hitler, but don't worry, we're not Nazis).


Cute kitty, huh?

Then a couple days later, i discovered Adolph was living in a little storage room. And that Adolph wasn't a boy kitty, but a girl kitty. So her name changed to Eva. And then we discovered that Eva was a mommy!


Even cuter kitty, n'est-ce pas?

And then we soon discovered that there were three adorable little kittens in all. The one above is named Helmut (because it's German and he looks like he's wearing a helmet. Oh, and he seems to need one... not the brightest kitty ever). the second one, with a more black face is named Tom Selleck (or Magnum PI, depending on your point of view) because of Tom's luxurious black mustache. And the third, who's much shyer than the other two, but looks a lot like Tom S, is named Adolph. In honor of his mummy's first name.

Here's the cutest video ever! (the one i'm playing with, mostly, is Tom S. Helmut also makes an appearance - he has the white eyes. And later, you even get to see the shy Adolph)
