My oldest has been asking for a long time for a cat.
Finally gave in & brought home these 2 5wk old boys.
Shockingly, our 50lb Border/Dalmatian mix acclimated to them much quicker than she does to most dogs.

Tentatively: Atlas [solid gray] & Otto [striped]

When it comes to play time, two are better than one. They'll wear each other out.

We initially brought just the solid gray one home.
Our dog got along so well with it, we went back to get the 2nd.
Took the striped one a bit longer. He hissed/spit at the dog a few times, then was running around playing with her about 20 min or so.

Cute Lil fur balls..

Nice additions to the family.

There's nothing cuter than kittens! Be sure to post some of their antics occasionally in the "enough with the cat pictures" thread.

IME, when you get kittens from the same litter they stay kittens longer. They really enjoy playing together and really egg each other on.

Awe!

Cute, I wish we had two so they could play together. We did just tonight fully introduce our kitty to our dog Remy successfully and she wore her self out trying bum rushing him then running away. He was just mildly curious / amused.

'I guess we are cat owners now...'

Nope.

You are cat 'staff' now.

Absolutely adorable kittens. They’re cool little animals that’ll provide years of love.

As Tac alluded to …
Dogs have masters, cats have staff.
You’re staff.

And yes, having two will provide years of quality entertainment.

Enjoy.

Cats have lawyers on retainer.
You will pay all legal fees.
You will lose every case.

But it’s worth every bit of it.

I became a cat owner my daughter's senior year of college.
The birth announcement was the charge on my credit card for adoption/fixing/shots.

Thankfully she has maintained custodial duties....

They're working on winning me over.
Also, name update, Atlas is now Arlo. We'll see if that sticks, seems to suit him better.

Congrats.. Just remember that we do not control our cats but they tolerate us humans........... drill sgt.

I have a small stature (110 pounds) female friend who adopted two tiny kittens from the local shelter.

Joey topped out at 25 pounds.

Jake was 29 pounds.

Her kittens ended up roughly half her body weight.

Maine Coons?

The people we got these 2 from had a male [around 2yo] from a prior litter of the same mother. He was dark gray like Arlo & about average housecat sized.
