He is absolutely darling and I love his ears. 6 months can be a fun age, but can also be frustrating. Be patient with him and try and enjoy his rascal days. Congratulations.

I say this from experience.

Mine's almost 11 months and still firmly in his rascal days! I think he's got a few years of nonsense left in him at least...

u/Alone-Paramedic-7115 1d ago

HAHA this is amazing ๐Ÿ˜‚ as much as I appreciate this though I feel obliged to tell you she is a girl, so, Miss Bonjuk? Princess of scratch scratch, wearing her floof tiara!

u/KitMacPhersonWrites 1d ago

Our girl can hear the cheese drawer opening when sheโ€™s fast asleep on the other side of the house, and her ears are ear-sized. Homie is gonna hear things before you even think about doing them with those ears.

u/Unfair_Control_308 1d ago

u/Unfair_Control_308 1d ago

his paws are pretty big too! the woman i adopted him from said he could be part maine coon but she wasn't certain, i guess only the future will tell!

2

u/Frank_Jesus 1d ago

His short hair would indicate otherwise, but cats are so weird. Who knows?

u/powdered_dognut 1d ago

Just remember these two words when dealing with your cat and y'all will be fine, "Yes master".

u/taotdev 1d ago

Cats are good pets, but they get bored easily. When they get bored, they usually turn destructive. Make sure your little one has lots of toys when you're not around

2

u/Unfair_Control_308 1d ago

so far he's been pretty well behaved (aside from scaling the counters), and he's got lots of toys and even more on the way! he's very active when he's playing and very very food motivated, he loves a good food puzzle! ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›๐Ÿฉท

u/Forsythia77 1d ago

I would think this boy is a fancy white fluff void who started to put on a sock then decided he couldn't be bothered. Anyhow, congrats on your baby.

u/SuperPoodie92477 13h ago

I had 2 cats; Ben was a long-haired tux who looked like dad, apparently, & his littermate sister was their momโ€™s mini-me. They were 16-1/2 years old when I had to have them put down 20 days apart in May 2024 (Ben had renal failure & Kate had cancer). I was so lucky to have raised them from kittens - they were the best things Iโ€™ve ever done in my life. My advice is this - kittens are crazy little beasts who will do anything to make you laugh & piss you off at the same time, just because they can. ๐Ÿ˜น Enjoy every minute you have with them. Give your little one a snuggle for me, please!

u/Gammagammahey 12h ago

Hi Bones!! My goodness, what a gorgeous and distinguished and very polite young man! Lavish him with love because he's going to make your life wonderful. Give him all the toys, all the cat beds, all the cat trees, never get mad at him, look at him! He is so gorgeous.

Once you get comfortable with one another, consider getting rid of the collar and bell. Imagine trying to sleep with a bell around your neck.
