The recently posted pictures of kitten represent the four choices that we have in determining the future pets of the Lutz household. I thought that it would be fun to see what people who look at my blog think about which is their favorite. I'm going to keep a tally and add them up when decision time comes - there are lots of new pictures up, including trips to Vermont, and I'm going to be putting up pictures of trips to the zoo, Boston, and new dishes that I've made.

This little black female was by far the shyest.

This little female was the smartest of the group according to their foster mom. It loved to play with Clodio. 

This male, Clodio, or clawdio, is my favorite. He was the most playful and adventurous of the group. 

This white male was pretty playful.
