Awww what a pair! And that fifth picture!😻

u/dmcloren 12h ago

I love the last one ❤️❤️

u/Eastern_Pen9899 12h ago

That last pic is too cute ❤️

u/SimplePlastic0 10h ago

Aww yeah! They look so cozy ❤️

u/Commercial_Bird8467 12h ago

Bonded babys cant be beat. Nothing better. Partners in crime, forever in mischief.

u/SignificantCry22 12h ago

That fifth pocture is too cute 😂 They look like they’re already best friends.

u/macrhea69 12h ago

They look like littermates.

u/natracheve 12h ago

They are!

u/macrhea69 12h ago

So are these two! Lil’Miss Wendy Girl is on top and Damo, the Sweet Baboo below. I had two other brothers, but they got out and never returned last October. Our hearts, as in Wendy and Baboo, are still broken.

u/natracheve 12h ago

They are adorable! So sad to hear about Wendy and Baboo, they’re chasing butterflies somewhere up there!

u/waffles_weekends 10h ago

The fifth picture really does sell it, they're curled up like they've been sharing a bed for months already.

u/Forsaken_Arcanist 13h ago

So cute~ they look like a bonded pair.

u/natracheve 12h ago

I think they might be! Where one goes the other follows

u/SmellsLikePneumonia 10h ago

Can you imagine just living in someone’s house with your best friend and having them cater to your every need just because you are CUTE?! Really living the dream…

u/addamee 8h ago

And you in tow? I wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything with these two nuggets in the house. Sorry for your loss but I hope these adorable kittos bring you so much joy

Well done, boyfriend!

u/natracheve 12h ago

He’s the best 🥰

u/Electrical-Act-7170 12h ago

Keepers, all.

u/Kaheena_ 12h ago

The best thing ever is to get a pair of kittens! After 3 years of grief from losing my previous cats, I adopted 2 siblings and I call them exactly "bundle of joy" . I forgot how much kittens are fun, entertaining and energetic!

u/PromDamsel 12h ago

I’m so sorry about your old lady. But I think she sent you two angels in disguise ❤️ Pepper & Nutmeg are perfect.

u/natracheve 12h ago

Thank you so much. She’s their older, wiser sister looking down on them from above!

u/natracheve 12h ago

I completely agree. We had a couple of people say it’s too soon but it’s more opportunity for love, rather than a replacement! So sorry to hear about your pet loss but glad you’ve got 2 crazy kittens too!

u/DubbehD 8h ago

The kitten noise at 2am on my wooden floors is music to the ears😂 I love it really

u/CrazyOldBag 12h ago

Congratulations on your new mischief makers!

People who say “too soon” can shut their pie holes. It’s not their business, and how they feel about the situation has absolutely zero relevance. I’m sure you loved your prior kitty very much, and you now have two new babies to love, which in no way detracts from the love you had before.

Anyway, enjoy the mayhem!

u/BooBoo_Cat 12h ago

Our Bobo died on a Wednesday. My husband adopted Bruno on Friday. 

u/Laney20 12h ago

When my soul cat passed away, we were in the parking lot of the vets office when my husband and I decided to keep the kittens we were fostering. So yea, was minutes for us.

That was 4 years ago and I regret nothing.

u/BooBoo_Cat 11h ago

The SPCA was closed on Thursday, which is why we adopted Bruno two days later. I wasn't quite ready for another cat (I was looking forward to sleeping through the night, leaving the front door open for air, travelling without worrying about hiring a cat sitter), but, well, that's life! Bruno is such a pain in the ass but I love him so. This was two years ago.

u/natracheve 12h ago

So sorry to hear :( There’s always more love to give for our kitties

u/BooBoo_Cat 12h ago

Thanks. It’s been two years and we miss Bobo terribly. 

On the Friday, I was at work and my husband went to the spca “just to look”.  

u/natracheve 12h ago edited 12h ago

Thank you so much! You’re exactly right, we loved her so much. We are loving it although my 16 year old lady was very different to these two crazy girls, it’s taking some getting used to their energy 😂

u/lookingforone14 13h ago

Troublemakers lol

u/natracheve 12h ago

You got that right. They smashed a plate today

u/reiichiroh 3h ago

They can do that without opposable thumbs???

u/dmcloren 12h ago

Nooo, they look like purrfect angels.

u/natracheve 12h ago

This was 1am last night

u/dmcloren 12h ago

OMG .. I could be wrong 🤭

u/Electrical-Act-7170 12h ago

Angels fly. 😇

u/Cake-Over 12h ago

Look out! It's got the high ground!!

u/okram2k 8h ago

my cat also loves to climb up onto doors. it's the ultimate high ground

u/MasemJ 11h ago

I'm presuming Nutmeg is the orange one and looks like the lead troublemaker of the two.

u/EzeFrance 13h ago

Darling duo! Adore their names too

u/natracheve 12h ago

Thank you! It took us so long to choose!

u/BooBoo_Cat 12h ago

Love the names. Are they male or female? 

u/natracheve 12h ago

They are sisters!

u/Lalaloo_Too 11h ago

Omg I named my first two girls these names and called them my Spice Girls! They were lovely cats and are missed.

Enjoy the many years of love 💕

u/stupots 3h ago

When we lost our girl of 20 years we were absolutely devastated and needed a period of mourning to respect here memory, but 2 girls needing a home from a rescue centre popped up on a social media feed a few months later and we knew rescuing them was what Ebo would have wanted. They made the house feel like a home again.

u/richie___ 12h ago

Aw are they siblings or did he just follow the adopt 2 rule? Either way, they look great. Have fun

u/natracheve 12h ago

Siblings! Thank you.

I don't know why I'm on this sub. My Mom's allergic so the one pet I know I'll never own is a cat. It makes me sad because they're so cute.

Sorry for the loss of your old one, and congratulations on the new.

u/Firm_Awareness_6235 11h ago

First my condolences to your old lady in cat heaven 😭. Nutmeg and Pepper 🌶️, how original. They are obviously siblings cause they’re so close. My daughter and I both love them. They’re A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! I showed them to my Mumbai girl Elsee, she nuzzled the screen 😀. May you ALL have a blessed life. BTW: Boyfriend’s a keeper 😀
