Our Kittens MEET For The FIRST Time!

[music] Good morning, guys. Welcome to today's video, you guys. Our newest baby kitten is a dream. He is a dream baby. He's so fun. And right now, we're all leaving the house and we're leaving him behind. And he struggles when we leave him. He cries if he can't find Sophie or I follows us around. He can only sleep if one of us is there. Like he sleeps with us. But he's so funny. He He's so funny. We just left him. It feels wrong that we just left him. He's going to cry. This morning I went in and I woke Sophie up. I said, "Sophie, get up. We're going to go." And he heard me. He sleeps beside her in his in her bed on a pillow right beside her head. He's so cute. who sleeps all night and he heard me and he was so excited. He jumped up and he ran to the door. So, I closed the door quick cuz I wanted her him to stay with her because I was going out to do chores. He ran up to her in bed, climbed on top of her chest, stared in her face, and was screaming at her. Like, he's so vocal and he tells us everything. Like, if he's sleeping beside me and I act like I'm about to get up, he cries out to me and it's like, "No, stay. I'm not done sleeping." Like, he cuz he'll get up if I get up. He's really cute. But today, today we're going to get our second barn kitty. So, after today, he will never ever be alone again. I'm so excited for him. You guys know I don't like having cats live in the barn. I don't like having outdoor cats because their life expectancy, their life expectancy is so much shorter than a cat that lives inside. Our [snorts] old cat lived to be 13 and she was an indoor outdoor cat, but that's a rare exception. So, how we do barn cats is that, and I don't know, maybe it's controversial, maybe people will disagree, but he's these ones that we have now, we need barn cats. I hate this road. Goes down a hill and there's lots of snow on the road and it goes down a hill to the stop sign. We have slid out into the intersection a lot of times. But anyways, we are going to keep these little kittens in the house. And we kept our last barn cat in the house until we felt she was ready to go outside. She stayed inside for 3 years. Was it 3 years? I think 3 years. I think 3 years. It was three. She's three in September. Two years. I don't know. But we kept her inside for at least 2 years before we felt she was ready to go outside. And now she is loving her life outside. She's the best barn cat we've had in a long time. Girls, I find to be much better mousers. She has caught a big giant rat. She's caught three little tiny mice and she's only been out there such a short time. Anyway, these little kittens will stay inside until the spring until they're big and ready to go outside. So, we're just getting to love them and enjoy them. And that's the [clears throat] thing about our family. We're all here in the car going to pick up this kitten even though we're all adults practically because we celebrate and enjoy every animal on our farm. Like every single one even when we had the turkeys and even like it's just we celebrate every single one of them and have so much respect for their life. But anyway, going to pick up our newborn kitty. We're so excited that we got here too early. So, we're going to stop at the dollar store now that I finally am excited about decorating my Christmas tree. I never get excited about it, but I'm excited about it. I want the presents to look really fun, too. So, we're going to head in. I'm going to get some stuff. I'll show you. Oh my gosh, look at these. These are the cutest little things. They are so cute. Little cloths. Is that so cute? The dollar store actually [music] has some really cute things. Like, that is so cute. If that was a tiny bit bigger, it would fit our baby goats. In fact, that would probably fit our baby goats. Oh my gosh, we need catnip [music] >> for sure. But we are going to need two. Should I get the duck or should I get the mouse? Because that's what we want them for. >> That's the mouse. Isn't it so cute? These are so cute. Which one do you Which ones do you think we should get? It's catnip. >> Okay, so Oscar cuz he's a queen. Oh, no. Let's get this for the girl. I was thinking for the girl. >> And then >> like I want the mouse. Yeah, I want the mouse cuz that's what we want them for. But this is so cute. >> But like they can I can hold it and they can play with strings. >> Yeah. >> Oh. >> So this is So this is Oscar, our OG kitten. >> And this is little baby Teddy. That was her name. When [laughter] when we picked her up, they named her. Oh, she's like, "Thank goodness you're here." She was smelling my breath, too. Oh, do you love him? We told you. She was wild in the car. And he's like, "Oh, no. I thought I was the king." Merry Christmas. >> So, they're actually the exact same age. >> She's tiny compared to him. It's a gift for you. It's Merry Christmas. >> So, you always have a friend. [music] >> You can grow up with a friend. >> She's like, I'm out of here. So, she is a tabby, but she in the camera she looks really dark, but she's actually a tan and and brown tabby instead of a black and gray. She's a light tabby. Did she hiss? Yeah. She'll probably be telling him he is. Oh, he'll she'll probably be the boss of him, though. Oh, hi, babe. >> She's really little. I know. I love him, too. He's spectacular as a cat. >> Oh, there they go. >> I love that you call him and he comes running. >> Yeah. Well, that was antilimatic. >> She's tiny, isn't she? tiny compared to him. She's so cute. Today, when we were driving back from getting the kitten, I saw a lot of messy animals out in fields. Like Ellie right now is digging up the dirt. I'm going to have to give her a bath. She's disgusting. I saw cows. Stop, Ellie. I saw cows that were covered in mud. I saw horses that were covered in mud. It [laughter] sucks. Like, it's the worst. I kept thinking to myself, imagine how miserable they must feel. And it made me grateful that I kept our goats in this morning. I did. I don't know if it was the right choice. I struggle with that. But everything is muddy and wet and gross outside right now. And tomorrow will be better. You are a muddy mess. Don't jump on me. All right. So Sam says, hello. [laughter] She is so fast. Sam says that this is catnip. So I'm going to try and pick this. And I don't think this is it, though. I'll find out. All right. Wait. I'm feeling pressured. [laughter] Had a horse breathing down my neck. There's nothing in here. I brought a bag to collect some catnip, but I don't think it's going to work out for me today. It's mild out, but really gross and really wet. And not the best day for collecting catnip. I think I'm past this stage. I think I I waited too long. I don't think there will be any natural catnip for me. All right, so it's been a few hours and what did we decide to call her? >> Teddy. >> Teddy. So, she came with the name Teddy. Sophie wanted to name her Laya, but then we decided to keep it Teddy cuz she does look like a Teddy. She's a light tabby. She doesn't have that black in her. Even though it looks like she's black in camera, she's more like brown and tan. Sophie says that Oscar, our orange cat, has been horrible to her all day. She's been sleeping all day. And I told Sophie, Sophie, bring her downstairs and let her play because I'm telling you now, if you let her sleep, if you let her sleep all day, they're going to be awake all night. >> He loves kisses. put them down together so we can show the size difference. So, we think they're a week apart. Oh, he just wants to play with her. >> Who Who's hissing? Ellie. >> She hiss, he growls. >> She hisses and he growls. So, she also came from a barn. [snorts] >> Her mama and her daddy were barn cats. door. Lovely songs [music] we all heard before as he walked from house to house [music] to wish us. >> Oh no. >> I think he's just playing though. I think he's [music] playing and she's just confused. [music] >> Yeah. So, we've been leaving her in Sylvy's room, but she's just been sleeping. We're leaving her in Sophie's room so she gets used to him. Yeah, he's been hanging out in there all day and usually he doesn't. He likes to run around the farm or he likes to run around the house. He likes to play with [laughter] He's crazy. But look at how cute. I'm not usually a tabby cat kind of person, but I like her. She's just tiny and she's putting up with some stuff. I feel like she is not our first tabby cat. But this is what it looks like in our house when we have a new pet. Everybody just be watching. Sophie's going to take her back upstairs, though. And he's having to pee in the kitty litter. We have kitty litters all over the house. How did she has she been eating, Sophie? >> I think she was eating right up there. >> This is what happens when Sophie tries to play video games. So, meet little Teddy. >> Little Teddy. She's a girl, but we called her Teddy. >> Uh-oh. Come here. Jump. >> You can do it. You can do it. Yeah. The last time we got two kittens at the exact same time was at Christmas when Gabby was four. So 14 years ago is the last time we got two kittens at the same time at Christmas. And incidentally, one was a tabby and it was the boy. Beautiful [music] just the way you are. Just the way you came. Don't you know that you're beautiful?
