New kittens, who should we pick?

[Lorddenning1]

Ok we as a family are looking for 2 kittens to join our family, we have the option of 2 sets.
First pair are tabby and ginger, both girls and belong to a women, she isn't a rescue, they are cheaper but still expensive I would say in general, they are not pedigree etc they come flead and wormed.
Second set are also girls and both are all black, they are from a rescue and they are dearer but they will be vaccinated, chipped and neutered.
Ok so I am leaning towards the rescue kittens as black cats get overlooked and the money we pay for them will go back to the charity. And the first pair could of been bred for money, and she doesn't seem too bothered about our home set up, think she just wants to make money etc.
But on the flip side we are a good home for these little ones and if she isn't vetting people what happens if they go to people that don't treat them right, the rescue place do check etc.
I'm so confused, help me decide what the best thing to do is, before I end up with 4 cats and my other half leaves me

Oops, just seen your update

They are beautiful 😻

They are adorable! Glad you went with the black ones.

Black cats are fabulous, so affectionate.

Personally though, we have 4 (blacks, black and white and ginger. Honestly, if you can cover the bills, the difference between 2 and 4 is surprisingly little.

You lucky duck! Black cats are truly the best.

Enjoy your little house panthers.

I think Rosie looks like a panther, she has a skinny face with sharper features, Bella has a more rounder angel face, my 10 year old is currently having fun playing with them, I get cuddles later.

Black cats are the best. Good luck with two identical ones. It's great fun trying to work out which is which, especially when it's dark.

They are so beautiful, I hope they have long, healthy lives with you. Makes me want to get another black cat too. I have a tuxedo black cat (and a poorly cat we want to get).
They shelter must really have trusted and known you to give you black cats around halloween. They usually have a short-term stop around then, for good reason.
Laughing at ToddlerTea’s comment: good luck with two identical ones 🤣

Thank you everyone, I love them already, Bella comes over and does a head boop on my nose, never had a cat do that before, my old cat used to rub her mouth on me which was a bit gross haha.
They do look a like but Bella had a softer more rounder face and Rosie has pointer features, but yes in the dark I would have no chance to work out who is who.

Trying to work from him today and trying not to be distracted and play with them

I am too late but can I just say ..... Good Choice

Although with 2 identical jet black cats you cannot tell them apart at a glance .
Ours move differently and their faces are slightly different shapes .

Heres some gratuitous ToeBeans

I'm so glad you got the rescue cats, OP. Rosie and Bella are adorable.

Aw haha we love a good toe bean in our house, one of the children wanted to name one of them JellyBean, I could not name one of our beautiful girls that and take them to the vets haha.

@AlfonsoTheUnrepentant us too, I don't even know why I asked the question, is was a no brainier too. It was funny as we turned up dressed in our halloween outfits as we were at a party on the Saturday, we went to view black cats dressed as pumpkins and witches and then we picked them up on halloween

Rescue black ones and after those pics ❤️❤️❤️❤️ But hoping the others get good homes too. ❤️❤️❤️

Pawsome pic ❤️❤️

@Lorddenning1
Sorry OP didn’t read thread see you made a good choice x

I would say the tabby and ginger, IF everything else was equal. Backstreet breeders are despicable IMO.

Thank You Fish

I think they are Female Cats legs but I wouldn't like to put money on it !

Actually MaleCat tends to cross his legs over at the wrist , very elegant and decent (unlike men on trains who take up a whole row of seats with their knees akimbo )

The obvious answer is definitely four kittens 😁

A bit of advice for owning black kittens. Now is the time to start getting them used to wearing these so you are ready for next Halloween

I left it too late and mine point blank refuse.

@helpfulperson haha get them while they are young. I tried them with collars and they didn't like them so I took them off, maybe when they are a little older and ready to go outside I will try again

We got my little boy in the spring this year from a lady getting rid of him. He's a full British short hair and we got him for free. Black cats are amazing so friendly.

He will be 3 in March. Glad u picked the black cats x

They are 8 months old now 🥰

They are all adorable 😻🐶
