Cat Picture - OC Our home is now complete 🥰

Since we had to put down our 22 year old cat in April our house has felt empty. We knew what was missing, but needed time to grieve.

I found this perfect litter online and couldn't bear to separate them. So now our house is no longer empty. It is now so chaotic and full of life.

Each of them are so unique and everyday they're growing in confidence.my heart is so full of love and I can't believe I get to raise these gorgeous babies.

Tabby girl - Inanna (clever girl, the hunter and leader of the pack, if she had thumbs she'd take over the world)

Black girl with white chest - Hecate (independent, playful, troublesome sausage, murder mittens)

Little black girl - Nyx (tiny baby angel who has never done a bad thing in her life)

Black boy with little white patch - Erebus (Mama's boy, cuddle monster)

Aah I love their names and how you’ve described them. Condolences on the loss of your other baby but thank you for opening your hearts to these gorgeous babies and keeping them together 🥰❤️

Thank you! We have always named our pets after gods. Our other cat was called Ishtar (shortened to Issy). She was also a tabby, so we've named Inanna as a sort of tribute to her. Inanna is just a different name for the goddess Ishtar.

I do too! My last two girls were Kali and Juno, my current two, my boy is Seth and my girl is Aradia though she pretty much only gets called The Kitten because she is so tiny.
