Meet the boys! Dante, 7 months, is the white fluffy one and DaVinci, 4 months, is the orange and white tabby. I made it less than 24 hours after having to put Alice to sleep before I went to the shelter and found some new kitty friends.
Dante is an absolute snuggle kitty. I had no intention of getting kittens; I was going to adopt older cats. I stopped in the kitten room just to play with them a bit, and Dante picked me out. I was sitting on the floor and he climbed up, purring loudly, and snuggled up into my shoulder and neck. He's very soft and is going to be HUGE-- his tufted feet look like snowshoes. I finally heard his meow for the first time yesterday, after I'd had him two weeks.
DaVinci also purrs very loudly-- pretty much whenever he's awake he's purring. He's already established himself as alpha kitty, and he's got a bit of a pot belly because he eats almost as enthusiastically as he purrs. Still working to break him of climbing up my leg. He likes to lick my face in the morning when I'm still sleeping. Another habit to break him of. . .
There's only one carpeted space in the entire condo: the stairwell to the basement. Within minutes, both cats were chasing each other up and down it and scratching at it. To save the carpet, I created this kitty guard/barrier. So far so good.
DaVinci would like to learn to play my harp. Think he has a good chance?
I miss my old lady cats, but these kittens sure are fun.
