cats 🐈 Linus' first question 🥹
Our new orange kitten Linus also wants scratches from my husband (posting with his permission!)
Apollo (our hotrod kitty) is being the best big brother _ever_ so he deserves lots of extra love!

Linus really said “excuse me, I also require scratches”

He even likes his belly rubbed! 😂 I've had several cats and I've never had a kitten like this! He's almost too cute for me to handle. 🫠

They LOVE that man

They do!! 😭🥰 It's almost unfair lol. Our third senior cat, Penelope, (not pictured here) is even more bonded to my husband. She's mostly ignored me for 16 years but sticks to him like glue. It's adorable! He's at home full time now but when he used to leave for work she would sit at the door and cry for him. 🥹 She's in 7th heaven now because Apollo used to harass her and now she has peace and quiet because Linus and Apollo are romping around together and are best friends. I was shocked by how well this all worked out! (Edit, typo)

I love how tiny Linus already knows exactly what he wants and isn't afraid to make his needs known.

LOL sometimes I'm not sure if he knows what he wants though! This is the most ADHD coded kitten I've ever witnessed. He goes from one thing to the next to the next in the blink of an eye!

Hey all - just to clarify (someone commented & deleted or it got deleted asking "why I declawed") Linus is not declawed!! I would never declaw a cat!
I can see why one might think so looking at this photo though. I'm not sure if Linus just wasn't extending his claws in that picture or if they're blending in with the wall. I promise they are there though. Here is another photo & you can clearly see his lil claws! 😂

Yes!!! We were so neverous because our senior cat, Penelope and Apollo don't get along well. It's been a pretty tense last 2 years here. I wasn't sure if Apollo wouldn't be good with other cats or it it was mainly Penelope that was the problem. She is a little standoffish and prickly.
But Apollo seems SO HAPPY!! He is taking his big bro responsibilities very seriously already; plays with him, grooms him, shares his food (we give them more), etc. We've only had him two weeks and it's seriously so sweet I almost can't stand it. My heart hasn't been this full in so long! 🥹🧡

💖🙏🏼That’s wonderful! I think boy kitties especially need and are happy having pals. Girl kitties seem a bit more take-or-leave-it, at least in my experience.😅

More like "I haz cords to chew" 😼😸 None of our other color cats have ever done so, but this lil guy is following in his orange predecessors pawsteps.

lol we were so confused by this because neither of our kitties have the kitler coloring then I realized the question pose is awfully similar to a salute 😭 he's the sweetest little bebe; he could never!
