The chaos that came with kittens

While Rachael C.–stay at home mom, botanical artist, and cat lover–had grown up with cats, no one else in her family had any experience with them.

So when, just a few hours after bringing home their new kitten, her husband suggested they go back and get one of the siblings, Rachael was over the moon.

She knew firsthand how much love and excitement these cats could bring into their lives…

But little did they know, this cat duo would keep them on their toes with a little bit of chaos too.

Last week, we learned about a dog dad who never imagined he’d have a pet of his own. Growing up in a culture where many people didn't view dogs as pets, he actually felt fear toward them.

When an opportunity presented itself to get a dog of his own, he was a little hesitant, but he decided to do it. We were curious what you would've done!

😱 Could you bring a dog home if you were genuinely afraid of them?

71.4% - 🐶 Yes. I think the right dog could change everything
​28.6% - ❤️ I’d consider, but would need to work through the fear first
​0% - 🤔 Maybe, but I’d be very nervous
​0% - 🙅 Honestly, no. Fear that strong would be a dealbreaker
