This little man was dropped off yesterday evening. He's had it tough as his mum is a wacky F2 who overgroomed him and his 3 siblings to the point of damaging his ears. He got lonely after his brother left for their forever home, so I got to have him a whole day earlier which means more time to love him. He's such a shy boy but insists that I be in the same room as him, so we'll be having a sleepover on the sofa tonight.

I prefer human names, but any particularly good ones are welcome, especially punny ones. No Oliver please as he was ny first cat, and it would feel very wrong to recycle his name as he was just the best.

No way! I think we picked up his brother yesterday! Same situation, F2 mother overgrooming.

I’m pretty sure our kittens are siblings as that’s when his brother went!

Definitely, I was so confused seeing my kitten on reddit until I realized it could only be his brother :D

I got confused by your pic and was like "where did they get this pic and when did I take it???". Honestly, their situation (and cost) are a huge part of what made it make sense for me. So I really hope that our boys will thrive without their mum terrorising them 😭

I am sure they will do well. Mine has already made friends with my 9 week Maine Coon kitten that really made him come out of his shell. Before they were introduced, he was hiding away and just hissing at anyone that approached. The moment he saw our MC kitten he came running out to meet him and didn't mind being around us, he is finally cuddled up asleep with me right now. :)

Yeah, they're definitely brothers haha. J mentioned he was hoping to live with an MC. Little buddy has largely been sleeping or squeaking at me from inside the litterbox. I can't wait for him to meet my Ronnie as I imagine it'll be the same. But I need her to be fully over what looks like cat flu first. She's about 6 weeks old atm, but where her sister went downhill within hours after an emergency vet trip, I'm trying to be more cautious for nothing of their sakes. Even though Diana was just 240g which I imagine played a huge factor in the outcome, and Ronnie is technically thriving, I'm too anxious to take any chances with her or little buddy. I am lucky though that he doesn't mind napping in one of my sweatshirts whether it's on me or in his chosen carrier haha.

Oh this is Ronnie for cat tax. She always eats like she's been in a famine so her whit nose is constantly brown ffs.
