Very happy new kitten slave

Name-changed because my real-life friends have been spammed with this already and I don't want them to find out all my dark secrets from other threads.

Yesterday we brought home two adorable kittens. MN is only letting me upload this one picture, annoyingly, but trust me they're beautiful. They're estimated to be 14 weeks old, and were found in a box by a lay-by. Both boys, both very very friendly and curious. We got them for our twin (12-y-o) sons, and it's fair to say that kittens and boys are already deeply in love.

My heart is bursting so much that I had to share.

Awww. They're gorgeous.

NewKittenSlave · 22/12/2022 20:57

They so are! We've never had pets before so this is completely new territory.

Enjoy! Black cats are the least likely to be adopted so it's lovely that you've given them a home. I've got a black girl and she's stunning just like yours. What have you called them?

NewKittenSlave · 22/12/2022 21:01

But black cats are so sleek and beautiful! Our sons have named them Hunter and Jack.

Gorgeous! Identical black cats are great fun. Particularly when it's dark.

ColonelNobbyNobbs · 22/12/2022 23:41

Beautiful!!!! I love black cats. Can’t understand why not popular. Glad they have a lovely home ❤️

ponygirlcurtis · 22/12/2022 23:46

They are handsome boys 😻

NewKittenSlave · 23/12/2022 09:58

Uh-oh, one of them has learned to climb the curtains.

Joining in the black cat love here - our own mini panther is steadfastly ignoring the lovely new bed we got her in favour of the box it arrived in (as per standard cat protocol). Your boys are adorable!

That is the most cat thing ever. 🤣

Gorgeous xx

They are just so lovely, your boys are so lucky - not so sure about the curtains though, I fear the other one will also learn the curtain climb.

Swissnotswiss · 23/12/2022 10:07

Gorgeous! I have 12 year old twins who really want kittens too and this thread is tempting me!

They are so gorgeous! 'My' cat and 12 yo DS are inseparable, so I can only imagine the levels of kitten love going on in your house right now.

EATmum · 23/12/2022 10:12

We have just replaced our curtains. The last ones were shredded by cats sliding down, claws out! Good luck. 😀

EATmum · 23/12/2022 10:13

And your boys are beautiful!

CrunchyCarrot · 23/12/2022 10:19

Awww they are gorgeous! It's great you have two because they will entertain each other when you are too tired to do so!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 23/12/2022 11:46

Love the curtain photo 👍.
Most important question. Can you tell them apart? We still get our two black 'kittens' (now 4 years old) wrong occassionally.

BlueKaftan · 23/12/2022 11:49

They are gorgeous chaps! Black cats are so fabulous.

nocoolnamesleft · 23/12/2022 11:53

Just here for the further incredibly cute photos that you will be posting won't you?

Pixiedust1234 · 23/12/2022 11:53

It makes me so mad when animals are thrown away like garbage but thank you for providing a happy ending, they are absolutely beautiful 😍

I love his expression when on top of the curtain. He really does have an air of "yeah? Wotcha gonna do about it?" 😂

It's REALLY hard to tell them apart. But then, it's REALLY hard to tell my identical twin sons apart, so I'm kinda used to it.

With a touch of "Err Mum, can you help me get down from here please?"

Awww, handsome chaps! Also a lover of black cats, have never understood why they are the least popular.
