I know what you mean there...years ago we adopted 4 kittens from the ASPCA at
a mall in Ithaca... I remember the "sales person/volunteer" asked us
repeatedly if we were sure we want all 4...I did since they were all from the
same litter, and their mom hadn't survived (I'm guessing coyotes got her, they
are around here often enough, some nights you can hear them howling :( ).
Anyway, they sure proved to be very very eh.. active :)  Eventually one moved
in with our neighbor at the time, another one later "took off" for parts
unknown (he was the only male in the group).. And I still have the last two
here, "Lola" and "Lulu" (I thought about naming her Bertha, she was so big
compared to her sisters :))  Here's a pic of them soon after we got them:

Neat :)  I saw the Cirque du Soliel show once when we went to Las Vegas
...(once was enough for me Lol).

That's a neat story :)

Take care,
