Ginger Is Missing

I knew this was going to happen. We finally gave up trying to keep Ginger in the house, and let him go outside. He was so happy! Unfortunately, I haven't seen him since Sunday. I'm not sure where he is, but last week he was gone for almost two day, but he came back. Hopefully he will be back this time, too.

I Want Out

This is how Ginger spends his day.

Longing to be outside.

Wanting to play with the boys outside.

I used to set a chair by the door so he can sit and look out the door.

Then one day he put a hole in the screen and escaped.

No more chair for him, so he makes due on his own.

Our Stupid Cat

I don't know what we are going to do about Ginger. He is just not a happy cat. He wants to be outside so bad! Today he got out, and it took us a couple of hours to get him back inside. At one point he climbed a tree and went over the fence into the neighbors yard. I hate keeping him inside when he clearly prefers to be outside, but Brandi was so upset when we couldn't catch him. I told her we would find a new kitten that has never been outside, who would love being her inside cat. Ginger was born outside, and has been trying to get back outside since the day we brought him home. Maybe that's where he needs to be.

Ginger And The Balloon

The other day, Ryan bought home a balloon. He tied it to a water bottle so it wouldn't go into the fan. Ginger found it, and was dragging it all around the house. He would put the ribbon in his mouth, and shake it like crazy. He never did pop the balloon, which was just pure luck.

This Was A First

Our kitten, Ginger, is psychotic. I'm not kidding. She runs around the house, chasing invisible mice. She chases her tail. She has ruined more of my yarn than I care to admit. She is full of energy, and will playfully bite your toes as you walk by.

Well, when we left her alone this afternoon for all of twenty minutes to go get something for lunch, she decided to play with the toilet paper. She unrolled the whole thing, and had it dragged all over my house! I was laughing so hard, but hubby was not amused. I swear, I have heard of kittens doing the things she does, but have never seen it.

Until now.

Our New Kitten

We got a new kitten today! Her name is Ginger. You can see pictures of her here and here. She has the best personality! She loves when the kids play with her with some yarn. Who knew kittens will actually chase a ball of yarn?
