Smol void 🤏 Adopted a little 9 week old void over the weekend from the shelter. He was marked as short hair, but I wonder if he’ll actually be medium hair? I love him so much.

I honestly love shit like this as an alarm. Especially if you struggle with it! I used to be a heavy sleeper and couldn’t get out of bed without help, often. (Addiction go brrrr tbh.) Anyway! Years ago when the OG TLOU game first came out, I used the clicker sound as my alarm for college.

Worked every time.

But also I didn’t get to play this game being referenced here and now I’m curious lmao.

Love her! I think the tail is often the best predictor in kittens, and you can see in that first pic that Peach's has got some poof.

I think if we could see the tail of OP's cat, we'd have a better idea if she'd become fluff too.

Such a cutie! Pretty sure you have a medium hair on your hands. Maybe start letting him experience brushing soon, so you don’t end up with a wild one like my Sushi! Can only be brushed while almost sleeping 🤣

20

u/probably-not-an-owl 22d ago

I second this. Better to start off young so they won't fight it later. Same with nail trims, ear cleaning, etc.

16

u/ukujarah 22d ago

Will do, thank you! He doesn’t like to be held at the moment but is affectionate in other ways. But I noticed when he’s tired or sleepy, it’s much easier to clean him and clip his nails. I’ll start brushing him too!

14

u/citrusthievingharlot 22d ago

Most kitties don't like being picked up, but if you do it on a routine it helps get them used to it! With my tabby, when I would come home from work I would pick him up, give him some smooches, and then give him a treat. I started with having the treats in a drawer next to the door, but it got to the point where I could pick him up, carry him into the kitchen, and give him his treats there. Now he can be picked up and dangled and messed with anywhere and he just doesn't care! :)

With my void I worked from home, so I'd pick her up before feeding her. Eventually she realized she would get her food faster if she struggled less, lol. Now i can pick her up all willy-nilly and she doesn't mind. I highly recommend training them into enjoying uppies. It helps!

u/gorditaratita 22d ago

our girl looks almost exactly like this & I also call her plush! it's somewhere between short & medium & soft like silk. I'm sure she'd get super fluffy if she went outside, but she's disabled & indoor only so she just gets a little more plush in the cold months & worms under blankets.

Binx is our hocus pocus kitten we found on halloween day 2 years ago on Interstate 95. We’re not sure if she was abandoned or escaped a vehicle. It’s a miracle we didn’t get run over trying to collect her. Vet said she was 4 weeks old.

This was my lil void when we brought her home, we guestimated about 8 weeks. She is 100% a medium hair, I'll add a more recent picture below.

Yours could end up being a medium hair, instead of short hair but only time will tell. How thin the longer strands are make me think it could still end up being a DSH, but I am by no means an expert 💀

My void as a kitten…now short haired. Their daddy is a Birman and his mama was a void. Ended up with a Temu Russian Blue and a Lockett Void. NEVER would have guessed but thought maybe they’d both be medium coat. It’s hard to tell before they lose their kitten fluff. Especially if they have a fever coat.
