    One kitteh always leads to another.

      …and 2 kittens always lead to a big smile on the face :) . Leaving the entertainment stranded…, I wonder how much will cost the veterinary bill for when the kitties start fighting other cats -that were just staring with ugly eyes to them- to defend their position (or pride. Leave your ideas…).

      • Wild Kitty says:

        I know == have 2 boy kittens and 2 big girl cats (14 y/o) who are NOT happy == growling, hissing…even using feliway and flower remedies!! this will take time!

  2. Tyler says:

    That is the cutest thing ever.

  3. Ingwall says:

    Post a link to the presentation!

    Awww haha! I convinced my parents to let me get a kitten just by bringing it home and going “look! Cute!”

    • MLD says:

      LOL Yes, hard to resist the cute when it’s in your lap purring

      My parents did find a kitten some years ago.
      I was sure we would keep it, but then they took it to the animal shelter.
      It made me kind of sad.

      Thank you, Doctor. Now I feel better.

  7. Lisa Hellen says:

    That just made my day too =)
    I hope she continues helping animals like that as she grows older, she’s got a great start!!

    I have five myself now I need to unload. If only so many 13 year olds were so prodigious.

    • Zenchan says:

      Only five? I’ve got eight. Not all indoors, of course, but eight.

      • Conan776 says:

        I got the mom and dad cats too. The mom is
        agoraphobic but the dad disappears for days at
        a time. The kittens are 7 weeks old and
        will be on craigslist soon. They’ve started thinking
        outside of the box, only the box is their litter box
        and what they are doing isn’t thinking.

  9. Amber says:

    Two kittens are always better than one.

  10. fogharty says:

    I would like to see the .ppt file as well. My niece is planning one to present to her parents, but to convince them how valuable a puppy will be.

  11. Wicked_One says:

    Need linkie to presentation in order to get 2 puppies!

    • shelter worker says:

      2 kittens are a good idea because they help keep each other company and they may be less destructive if they’re playing with each other instead of just one lonely kitty looking for things to tear apart for amusement. 2 puppies, however, are a very BAD idea! Dogs need training, discipline and socialization with people. 2 puppies will bond with each other stronger than with the family and they’ll follow each others bad examples. House training and such tend to take longer, too. It’s recommended that you get the first puppy, put a few months into training and socialization, and then get a second puppy no sooner than 6 months later. Hope that helps. :)

  14. LOLZ says:

    Does a powerpoint presentation work if you want a fish. I really want a siamese fighting fish, since my mum killed my last goldfish. it would make my day

  15. Nina says:

    Haha what a little champion!

  16. Rebecca says:

    I remember when I used to try to covince my parents to get me more pets via PowerPoint. :)

  17. Eyelid says:

    You people are happy to read a line of text and say ‘Awwwwww’ ??

  18. Joel says:

    That’s a real life skill application.

    Niiiiice.

  19. WaffleFry says:

    haha I did the same thing with my parents.. then one cat went and got eaten by coyotes.. true story.

  20. Tim says:

    Powerpoint was banned by NASA.

  21. Dietze says:

    I bet we’ll soon hear that a shuttle launch was delayed because mice nibbled a fuel tube. :-D

  22. joe says:

    she is right

  23. Olivia says:

    Omg, no joke, this is how I get what I want. I’m older than her, but LOL good to know I’m not alone.

  24. Um says:

    Is it supposed to be weird/funny/cute that she made a powerpoint presentation and is only 13 years old? I used powerpoint when I was 10.
