Got a picture of the brothers snuggling.

My buddy Teddy won’t sleep on me, but he likes to sleep touching my arm.

The brothers are thankful for each other today.

Daily dose of Teddy

I took the 4yo to see Zootopia 2. Now we’re home and as you can see she’s the kitten whisperer. She understands better than her older sister that you have to wait quietly for the kittens to come to you.

Your daily dose of Boo.

This is called forced snuggling. Thankfully they’re both very chill kitties. When I returned home after taking the kid home, they were both knocked out fast asleep.

This almost 6yo adored the Asian Lantern Festival at the Chatt zoo.

I forgot how difficult it is to take pictures of kittens because they’re always moving. Here’s Boo today.

1/2 Story time. We went to the shelter to get Teddy and his sister. We hadn’t met them before. The shelter said they got along fine but weren’t bonded so we didn’t have to take them together. Shelter opened at noon. We arrived at 12:05. A young woman had already claimed Teddy’s sister.

His name is Boo Radley Rector. He is actually a gray and white tabby even if this picture makes him look gold. It turns out he is not actually a scaredy-cat. He and Teddy have been play play play all day. Boo does like to hide and jump out to scare Teddy.

This post is called Love at First Sight. Everyone took real well to each other. However I only let them stay 30 minutes because they completely wore out Teddy. As soon as they left, he plopped down and slept for 2 hours straight.

1/? Weighing 2.5lbs at 2 months, 3 weeks old (born 1 day after Teddy and not littermates) introducing this precious baby we are still working on a name for. This guy is super sweet and loves to be held. Unlike Teddy, this boy purrs like an engine. However, he is overwhelmed with the transition and

1/2 Weighing 2.7lbs and only 2 months, 3 weeks old, introducing Theodore Roosevelt Rector. Teddy shares a bday with Wes. He is completely chill, playful, and very snuggly. In the next post you’ll meet his brother. Do they fill up the hole in our hearts left by Big and Little?

But what if we did end up getting a boy kittie and a girl kittie? Opinions/thoughts/suggestions on names? Also I’ve only ever had boy pets because the anecdotal evidence is that boy cats are more snuggly and relational than girl cats. Does anyone have any experience with this?
November 21, 2025 at 10:12 PM
Just in case we ever need it, what are some cool boy cat names that are sophisticated and come from either history or literature? Good guys only please.

1/3 For over 15 years I’ve had the joy and privilege of being the mom of Big Kittie and Little Kittie. 15 years of them sleeping by my head every night, thousands of biscuits made, snuggles, purrs, soft bellies that they liked scritched, lots of slow mo silent play fighting with one another, and

Still the best purchase I’ve ever made re: kids. I wasn’t able to afford it when my oldest grand was 9 months old. I just got him the green plastic turtle. Bought this 3 years ago. Our house is only 1100 sf. Today the 4yo, 5.5yo, and 7.5yo played in it for 3 hours.
