An orange cat named Bonnie and a brown tabby cat named Max, sleeping near me in bed. (Those are bags of clothes I need to donate btw) A black cat named Kiki kneading and purring on me.

So Tuesday evening when I was sitting in the hospital my partner sends me a picture of 2 small black kittens.🖤🖤 His dad had found the poor things on the road.🥺 They were quite boney but after a week of kmr and wet noms they are slowly gaining weight.
2 small black kittens eating some wet food on a blue chair. A small long haired black kitten, sleeping on the floor. A small black kitten sleeping on a brown footstool. 2 small black kittens in a cage. Inside is a small litter box, food and kmr milk. (They did not end up staying in there. XD)

Kiki Mae: She is the pudge. And we're just mere servants and peasants.

Pandora: A fluffy demon who summons herself in the bathroom mirror.
