Welcome to the world of hairballs.

Thank you! :)

She’s my second rescue, one of my exes gave me a kitten (who I still have and is getting along with this lil fur ball surprisingly), that we rescued from her neighbors and I fell in love with, so she gave her to me for our one year anniversary even tho she loved her too. I’ve told this story, but my ex lived in a bad neighborhood, there were a lot of feral cats and her neighbor would pour boiling hot water on any cats that came into her backyard to “keep them out”.

I think I like rescuing cats better, it’s better all around for everyone involved, and they have more personality to them imho. And if they’re young, they really bond with you in those first few days.

But personally, I’ve never adopted or gone looking to adopt a cat or kitten so idk. My parents have had two, but they were both aloof assholes.

Sometimes the aloof assholes are inbred "pure" cats. My Mom had Himalayans like that.

All of my cats have been rescues of sorts over the years, from the pound or from hearing about a cat needing a home to making a home for a new orphan.

A dim photo without flash makes the bothers look much darker than they are. The duvet they're on is near-white light-cream.

That would make sense! I fucking hate forced inbreeding dude, my mom was obsessed with pure breed chihuahuas, and it’s like those creatures only exist to suffer lol. They get the worst shit in old age like hip displacement, and I can truly say, they are some of the “silliest” animals I’ve ever encountered..

And dude I love your names lol! I was originally gonna name her Artemis, but everyone said it was weird so I went with Luna (which they don’t know is related to Artemis, ha!!!). Gold and Silver are such cute combo names, and I love that photo, they’re adorable!!

It’s like yin and yang haha

I know an Artemis in San Francisco, great lady.

Make it a longer formal name, Luna Artemis Diana (Wonder Woman) seems appropriate as they are all ancient huntresses.

Curio was always fearless and Alfraidio was always the scaredy cat. Now that they're both accustomed to this place those character features have dissolved away, leaving me to find their less-stereotypical normalized personalities and quirks.
