When geeks become kitten fosters

[bangping]

We keep our foster kittens caged in large dog crates when we can't supervise them. They're turned loose to run amok when we're there to keep an eye on them. When it's time to go home, it can be difficult to convince kittens that would MUCH rather stay out to head back into the cages. To get around this, we've taken to feeding them their canned food at the end of free time. Instead of having to find them all, chase them down, round them up, and repatriate them into the cages ourselves, we can usually just stick a plate of wet food into the cage and the kittens materialize from all over the house to hurl themselves into the cage, face-first into the grub.

As I told roane tonight, we have:

One can* to feed them all,
One can to find them.
One can to bring them all,
And in the dog crate bind them.

I was amused.

*One can per cage. :)
