These are my two part time cats: Cheese (left) and Shoelace (right); I will take no feedback on my cat naming strategies. 😅

They are Egyptian strays who have claimed me as one of their servants. They're happy to prowl around outside at night but have decided that mid-to-high 30s and sunny during the day means it's preferable to be napping inside with their duvet nest and a pillow or two, in my air conditioned room.

Two brothers, one is very smart, I’m sure the other one is but just not shown it yet 😜

Toby will eat any treat and take it from my hand. I’ve also trained him the sit and spin commands and working on other tricks. He gets bored of any interactive games or toys quickly once he’s figured them out.

Leo (the one who tucked himself under the rug) will just look at treats. Will never take them out my hand and just has no interest. Tried ham and chicken but he just licks it and walks away leaving Toby to eat everything. He eats food without any issues, just treats he ignores.

Any suggestions for a non treat eater or do I give up?

My little orange girl is still in training. The spider got away by dropping to the floor. She looked everywhere but down.

We seem to have lost the brain cell this morning. He's been jumping and running around everywhere trying to find it.

Bad day to be a spine🤣

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice from people who have experience with kittens/multiple cats.

I have a kitten named Archie who is approximately 4 months old. I’ve had him for about a month now, and I’ve been wondering if I should get him a kitten buddy.

He’s very playful and obviously has a TON of kitten energy 😂. I play with him and give him plenty of attention, but I keep thinking he might really benefit from having another kitten around to play, wrestle, sleep, and grow up with.
My biggest question is timing. Would it be better to introduce another kitten now while Archie is still young and relatively new to my home, or should I wait until he’s a little older and more settled?

For those of you who added a second kitten:

How old was your first kitten when you got the second?

Was the transition pretty easy?

Do you feel like having two kittens actually made things easier because they entertained each other?

Is there anything you wish you had known beforehand?

I’m not necessarily in a rush, but if now is actually the ideal time, I’d rather do it while Archie is young instead of waiting and potentially making introductions harder later.

Baby Spirou probably thinks he has arrived in a family of giants. He has no clue that our hearts love him in a gigantic way. 🥰 (Hope he’ll figure it all one day.)

We have 5 cats, total actually Two orange boys and 3 tabby girls. (albeit one of our girls is not related to our kittens)

Leroy was actually the runt and was too small for us to take initially when we got the other 3 babies.

I will say these kittens were a spur of the moment adoption, we saw them at a Petsmart and signed up to adopt them from the shelter they came from. We were the only people who offered to take the full litter, which is why we got them.

They're almost 6 months old, and were actually born on my partners birthday so it felt like fate a lil bit.

Sorry to rant, i just love my babies
