Introducing Loki and Thor

I just realized that I haven't written about our kittens. We adopted a couple of little guys, named Loki and Thor. Thor is the smaller of the two, which is hilarious to me. He came to use with a little mark on his nose, apparently a reaction to some medication, but it's mostly healed now.

I was pretty sad that we couldn't keep the girls we had in December. They were just too hostile toward Poe and Remy. These guys are the opposite, in that they follow the older boys around and desperately want to be friends, cuddle and play. Remy isn't really having it, but Poe is starting to take on some daddy vibes. Remy didn't even get along with the ragdolls, and they were here when he arrived. So I guess there was no point in waiting for him to like other cats, just wait for cats that get along with them. So here we are.

Loki gets up in your business and forcefully tries to get his head under your hands. He drools a lot in the process, like, dripping from his mouth. It's so weird. He's also kind of a troublemaker, always getting into stuff. He chases Remy around relentlessly. But when it's time to finally sleep, he'll curl up next to you and pass out. We're pretty sure that he's gonna be a big cat.

Thor is kind of a runt, but also eats like there's no tomorrow. He follows me around a lot, and just wants to be near people. He purrs non-stop, when he's eating, falling asleep near you, whatever. It doesn't stop. He has a tendency to plop down on your chest, if you let it happen. Very much a cuddler.

They sleep together quite a bit, but not always. Again, they really like the adult cats, and Poe seems willing to give them a shot, most of the time. If you're into lap cats, that's what they are. Hard to say if they'll always be that way, but for now they are definitely furry buddies.

There has been a lot of stress in our house for the last month or so, but these little guys help reduce that to a degree. We've also doubled our litter robot count, so there's no shitter scraping anymore.
