Our girl can hear the cheese drawer opening when sheโs 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.

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

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

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! ๐โโฌ๐ฉท

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.

I had 2 cats; Ben was a long-haired tux who looked like dad, apparently, & his littermate sister was their momโs 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 Iโve 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. ๐น Enjoy every minute you have with them. Give your little one a snuggle for me, please!

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.

He's a cutie and so wonderful that you adopted! ๐คฉ
I think he would also fit on r/blackcats and there's a flair tuft of white or little bit of white, something like that
Have lots of fun and take tons of pictures because they grow so fast! ๐ค๐โโฌ

Bones looks like heโs about to call an emergency meeting in the break room to discuss laser pointer safety protocol. He looks so much like a manager!

Excellent choice on species and color pattern! Congratulations! Cats are just like human children: take care of them, give them love, but also autonomy and respect and they will grow into awesome loving adult cats.

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.
