My daughters are 11 and 9, and they love animals just as much as I do.

One day, they came home with two Russian Blue kittens and told me they lived at the end of the block. Right away, I told them to bring them back.

After a month, the kittens started to sleep in front of our back door. They came as soon as the girls came home from school. I tried to keep them away from my house because they didn't belong to us.

Seeing them sleep at our back door for five days and five nights, though, I told my husband to please talk to the owners.

When he returned, he said, "Well, I guess we have two new cats."

The owner of the kittens didn't want them anymore and just said keep them if you want them.

I called the boys Frits and Frankie, and now they are part of our family. You see, I can't say no to an animal in need, and these two kittens were in need of a new home... and it just happened to be my home.

I am not sure what would have happened if I had said no to them. Would they have ended up on the street? Or at the shelter? At least now I know they have us, and we have two great friends.
