A video of what usually happens when they want to nap together. Silvio (M) is left, Pearl (F) is right. Yes they like to sleep on my backpack, I put it next to my pillow so it's better for cuddles

I never had two kitten siblings before, so I never realized how wonderful watching their interactions could be. I haven't been with them for too long, only 2 months.

Because of the heatwave and how I live upstairs in a house, I've been keeping them inside the airconditioned room with me at all times the past few days, so I recently noticed: playtime, naptime, meal or treat time (they get especially wild), etc is so fun and mesmerizing to watch. I'm usually a depressed mess but taking care of them has been helping since I'm happy to do it. Thanks for listening 🩶🖤

I am out of materials to exchange for Prima Stella notes and Step 3 P idols so I can't unlock anymore 😔 but the ones I got are all I wanted anyway

Hi all. I am not in the best place right now, I am in transitional housing. When I arrived to this place two months ago, I was surprised to find there was three cats, two small kittens and a female nursing them, which I assumed was their mother. After awhile of staying here, I realized the cats were not getting a lot of attention, even though in this house there are 3 people upstairs including me, and 2 people downstairs. At first I got really sick for a few weeks, which made me spend my time resting, but after I felt better, I told myself I would give the cats better care. I've had cats almost my whole life so... I started getting them some wet food and kitten dry food (previously there were just some dry food and water bowls left out all day) when I had some money, as well as making sure the litter boxes were cleaner than they were. I did get some toys but they got lost pretty quickly lol. Need to get some more cool stuff. The funniest thing is that their favorite place to sleep is on top of my backpack I've had since highschool.

Anyway quickly after I started to spend my time with them the kittens started to take to me. One is a boy who from my first time seeing him had the cutest features who I named Silvio (Sil for short). He is SUPER affectionate and loves to snuggle and lay on any part of my body. He is also silly like a boy cat would typically be. He sleeps in funny ways and also cries for attention a lot. The girl who is fluffy I named Pearl. She has way more attitude than her brother but in a good way, like tough and collected. She usually starts the play fights and ends up winning them, but on the other hand she grooms him the most. I don't know how to feel about it but they will also play fight on top of me lol. I've never had two sibling cats before, but in my opinion they seem to adore each other and are together frequently.

Now about the mother. I asked the case manager about the history for them, and I was told that she got them from another house that had about 10 cats. She said she doesn't know the age of the mother, if she got her shots, or even if she /was/ the birth mother of the kittens. I didn't know about other females choosing to nurse another female's kittens? Some time after I arrived (like 2-3 weeks?) the mother started to push away the kittens to stop nursing. I thought that was fine but then it just didn't stop. Now whenever she is around the kittens she growls, and if they get too close she screams loudly and tries to bat them away. Not in a way to try to hurt them though. She also just looks anxious in general and tends to walk slowly unless she's running away from the kittens. Another part is that at first she let me pet her but now she also growls at me when I come close unless I'm feeding her. She also really likes to eat the kitten food (I take it away from her)? My thinking was just that she really needed to be spayed and that might fix the problem, but I don't know for sure. Since it's small in here and there is already so many humans and cats, I'm thinking that it might be best to bring her to a no kill shelter and hope there is room for her. I truly believe she is a nice cat, but I think she's just frustrated right now, and it hurts me to watch her not be able to be herself. I just wish I could give her a better home and care immediately, but I don't have the means in any way to do that currently. I feel so bad. Plus I keep getting so worried on how I'll be able to get her into a carrier! I asked the case manager if she could help me but she "is scared of animals" and "wouldn't even touch her". This is coming from the person who brought them here...? I hope now you see why I felt the need to help these guys 🙃 Anyway for the mother's name, I usually just call her Mom or Miss.

I am attaching pics of everyone (Mom is last pic) Do you think that the mother could give birth to kittens that look like them? I really want to get the kittens to the vet soon (first vaccinations but idk at whatever age they are) but it will make me feel horrible if I don't get something done for Mom first. One thing I didn't say yet was that I actually didn't want to be around cats. A while ago I had multiple tragedies happen in my life, which led to me being homeless and losing my 3 y/o cat I had since he was also a kitten. The way I lost him specifically made me feel like I abandoned him and my soul kinda broke even more from that. Before it pained me to be around or think about any cats because I would just think about him. But the animal lover part of me just didn't want these cats to be unhappy, and when they reciprocated, my heart grew for them. The kittens look at me so strangely sometimes, like just full of love. I've never seen it before but it's like they are looking through me at my soul. Sorry for getting sentimental lol. I think I'm just so worried about them because of my cat before this too. I just can't handle anything happening to them as I am right now.

Long I know but thanks to anyone who reads this all. If anyone has any advice about raising two siblings (so grateful they have each other to play with) or anything I would appreciate it

Confused on what the requirements are for unlocking this. Thanks for any help!

What do we think?

Veil wasn't in this list yet, but if it was, it would be in one of the top tiers for sure (still deciding if it is the Best Misuzu song)
