If you saw my tweet last week, you had already known we had 2 new members of the family.

I finally found Squirt not one but two cats. And now that I have a chance to snap a few pictures of them, I’d love you all to meet them.

This picture is from the previous owner, taken when they were younger. How sweet are they? They made an upside down heart, do you see? They are brothers and are close to each other, so I adopted them both instead of just one (as originally planned). I know 2 cats mean more responsibility and work, but I couldn’t bring myself to separate them, just by looking at this picture.

The black and white one is Oreo and the grey tabby is Reece. If you are a fan of Dairy Queen’s blizzards, you can guess where their names come from, lol.

As you see in the pictures below, the cats love to sit on the windowsills or the balcony doorstep looking outside. They could be there for hours, being curious about what’s going on outside, and they almost do everything together. I don’t feel as bad leaving them at home together, and they have quite a few toys to play with.

Oreo and Reece have been adjusting to the new place quite well. They walked around checking things out, didn’t want to come near us for the first few hours, but then they had to come out for food lol. The first few nights, they slept under my bed. By the third day, they already rubbed their heads on our legs and welcomed belly/ head rub when lying down. That night they walked all over me in bed, trying to find a comfortable spot to sleep, lol. They didn’t stay there long though. I still don’t know whether they sleep through the night or just stay up playing.

The boys are a little chubby in the belly, being indoor cats and all. We are taking a “Kitty Care 101” class near the end of the month, hoping to learn more about how to keep them healthy 🙂 Squirt are really excited to have 2 little friends to play with but she “volunteered” me to be in charge of the litter box, lol. Having the boys with us means earlier wake up time (so we can feed them and clean the litter box), but we are doing well so far with them.

I haven’t mentioned on the blog, but the bf is packing up to move to the US for school, so Squirt and I will be on our own. It is going to be hard, but I hope the cats would keep the fun going in the family and keep us company when we are sad.

If you guys have cats, please share your advice in taking care of them. We want to be good cat owners 🙂 Have a great day!
