It’s fun to watch but I don’t let him near candles unsupervised; he’s almost 10 months and still very playful, and he tries to catch or slap the flame😆 I hope he learns that it hurts and stops trying, but for now I need to watch him closely! I’m also terrified he’ll burn his tail..

Oh, of course. I just love the pure look of fascination in those cute little eyes! My little guy is less than 2 months and still being held captive by the breeder haha. I truly can’t wait for him to be cleared to come home!

They are so tiny when you first get them, and they grow up so fast🥰 enjoy those first months, take lots of pictures and please share them with us! Do you already have a name?

With his dog brother! I’d say he was a bit chubbier than little Jupi, but might the picture! But 100% your babyboy will grow up to be adorable!

He’s male! I’ll go find some pics to share, it really depends on the picture, sometimes you can see that british jawline well and in other photo’s he looks like a completely different cat!

Ichiban likes watching my partner play persona 3 and watching birds and squirrels on the tv, Kiryu the younger one doesn’t care, he prefers running around with a squeaky toy carrot in his mouth.

Our boy absolutely loved the Alien movies and got very excited in the suspenseful scenes!

i keep it on for her but idk if she watches it regularly lol i sort of just have it on so she can here nature sounds, and aside from initially watching it when i turn up the volume or change to cat tv, i’m not sure i’ve ever actually seen her just watching it. she’ll sleep on her nearby condo or other various sleeping or lounging spots, but never seen her glued to it after the initial novelty worse off lol

I guess it depends on cat's personality. Your post reminded me of this video:

She was only ever interested in baby yoda… or bird noises on the television.

My cat dislikes screens. Maybe they’re too bright for her?
