"Oh, I am very sure," Clint replied with a vigorous nod. "In fact, there's little more that I want in life than for Matt to enjoy these two sharing zoomies at four in the morning. We really can't split them, they've bonded a lot. They'll explore a little on their own but if one is in a different room, the other one will go looking for them." It was sweet, but it had also meant that he and Laura hadn't felt it was right to separate the siblings. Which had meant these two were harder to find a home for as a pair.

"We talked to the kids about it, and they decided they'd rather keep the mom than one of the babies. They figured the mom would be harder to adopt, and we can only keep one, so once the kittens were ready to be weaned, we started adopting them out." Clint had a touch of pride in his voice. Of course his kids, as loud and stubborn as they could be, had the sweetest hearts and wanted to keep the cat that was least likely to find a forever home. "Plus we know where Matt lives, so the Mama Cat can always get visits of her babies."

He went over and knelt down, stroking both cats lazing in the sun before gently picking up the female kitten. She immediately tucked herself under his chin, purring away. "She's really laid back and sweet. Just wants to be a cuddle puddle. That one makes some people have to earn his time and attention sometimes." He nodded at the kitten Kate was holding. "Although he seems to be doing fine with you so... yeah, that fits with Murdock." Charming the ladies. "I texted Matt that we had some feed and supplies he could use but he insisted he had everything handled."

A beat. "Don't tell me he had supplies just waiting for another duck."
