Holy crap, these are such excellent cats. Friendly and gentle and playful and happy to be snuggled. And they are really, really beautiful.
Smooch . . . omg. After gaming, after everyone fussed over him and went home, I sat down on the couch to decompress, and he jumped straight up into my lap, climbed onto my chest, and lay on me for like fifteen minutes, purring, with his face against mine and his huge paws slung all over the place, occasionally squirming happily but mostly just limp as a stuffed toy with happiness. I didn't ask him to snuggle me, I didn't offer, he just did it. 'Cause, you know, that's his job.
Yeah, I may have cried. Just a little.
He's big, friendly, laid-back, and . . . well . . . he's all boy, and all lover. He cuddle-ambushed me three times while I was trying to write this entry, and once he tag-teamed me with the little black one, and they BOTH lay on my chest up against my face and purred until I fell asleep.
Roadie is one of the sweetest kittens I've ever met. I don't think he's stopped purring since he got here. Except for when he's playing and he growls SO FIERCE. Other than that, he's a kitten, with a kitten's personality. Playful, hyperactive, and curious.
Sadly, the other cats are freaked the FUCK out. I hope they will get over it, because it's obvious they're REALLY upset and that saddens me. It also saddens me that they're missing out on the happyfunplaytiems. They are both very playful, and gentle with their claws and teeth.
And it also makes me sad because I think my heart will break forever if I have to give these guys back.
Have some pictures!
Road Rash, who will have a better name shortly. So hard to get pictures of a black kitten! Black cats are tough to photograph anyway, and little ones that dart around at the speed of sound are even harder to get pictures of.
This is Smooch, who will also be getting a better name. He is BIG. Like, as big as Tazendra was, and he's only seven months old!
I was expecting a seal-point or chocolate-point from the Petfinder picture, but he's smoke-colored, maybe a blue-point.
He loves having his head squeezed and squished!
Chillin'! You can sort of get an idea of his size here.
His happy face.
OMG what a face! He looks like a smooshed kitty cookie someone left in the oven too long, and the edges scorched!
Roadie crashed next to me while I was writing this.
None of these pics do justice to the kitties, who are absolutely beautiful. I hope this works out, because they are really cool kitties!
