miette's baby pictures are my favourite thing. why are u looking at me like that. who hurt you. ur 2 days old why do u look like youve personally seen all the horrors humanity has ever committed
+ her glowup. shes still a bit freaky
so now they're a bit older i'd love to get some updated opinions on what people think about the genetic history of these two!
the my're abt 8 months now and i's say mostly fully grown, from the same litter and were adopted together. their mother was a long/medium hair calico streetcat and we have no info on their dad - possibly wishful thinking but i want to say they could have some ragdoll or pedigree history
main differences between them is their size - twyla (the calico) is the biggest cat ive ever had lol. shes 5.1kg as of this morning while miette (grey and white tabby) is only 4.6kg (tho our scale is kind of shit so take those numbers with a grain of salt)
they're both definitely getting a bit chunky tho so that's something i'm working on🫡
twyla's got coarser fur while miette's is still kitten-soft - possibly she hasn't grown into her adult coat yet but she already had a shedding period and some fur change? so i'm thinking (and hoping) she stays this soft! miette's more fluffy on her cheeks/neck too with her big white ruff (which makes her look like the bigger one in some photos but i swear she's the baby sister) twyla doesn't have the rough but she's more fluffy on her backside/tail
also very different personalities - twyla's a shoulder cat (owie) and a cuddlebug, miette prefers to be beside you rather than on you and doesn't love being picked up/have her feet off the ground. miette also has like absolutely no defense mechanism she will not display any form of discontent if you do something she doesnt like she'll just freeze up and stare. also love to be pet ROUGH while twyla will tell you if you're crossing her boundaries (not aggressive but a light swat/nip, miette will literally just take it)
theyre still best friends and both very screamy <3
4 weeks to 7 months! we adopted them at abt 5 months (picture 4)
i was crying today she came up to me and curled up on my neck which isnt rlly typical of her and licked/nibbled at my face while purring 🥹
we had to take her little sister (miette) to the vet today bc of some eye infection and last night i tried to keep them in seperate rooms so they wouldnt lick eachother.
this girl screamed at the door for i kid you not 3 hours straight until i got fed up and swapped them around
(miette outside, twyla (pictured) in my room) and boom! no yelling!! she doesnt care abt sister. she only cared abt being in my space lmao
now shes being sweet like she didnt cause me 2 hours of sleep while i was dealing with another sick cat. independent creatures my ass
some photos of little miette! present day and some baby pics at the end :)
she’s about 6 months now and we adopted her and her sister. she was advertised as a very shy kitten - she was in a big foster home and pretty much just hid to the point where we were advised against adopting her when we visited as she didn’t come out once.
in the month we’ve had her she’s turned into one of the most affectionate cats ive ever met - always showing her belly and coming up to knead you. and very very chatty!
just captured in the morning light. like an angel :)
i think my kitten just swallowed a bit of wire - it wouldve been only a tiny bit and very thin but ive only had her 2 weeks and im paranoid. she seems fine. doesn’t understand why im panicking lol.
its 2am so advice would be greatly appreciated please😫
had her for 2 weeks and shes the most affectionate cat ive ever met🥹
