Definitely fully domesticated and socialized for cuddles and companionship.

when they are attacking each other yet? They sure are getting big fast, well fed babies. So sweet!

8. They are in the learning to stalk and pounce stage. Just not very good at it, yet.

I've seen lots of rearing up and toppling over backwards. Hilarious. And they are so FAST now! No more bumbling. They are like little furry race cars.

You think you have groomed them to be polite and civilized, to not hiss at or bite humans.

And all the time . . . they were grooming you to supply an endless source of food, shelter from the weather, and a warm lap for snuggles!

But whoever has the best end of the deal . . . enjoy their company!

You’ve shown them patience, love and caring. Hopefully the ones that are adopted find homes with as much TLC. 💕

I wish I lived by you and could adopt Arthur! He's so adorable! (They all are, of course, but he's my favorite!)

14. I think I fell in love with Arthur the very first moment I saw him

He was pretty much a newborn, still all scrunched up, eyes closed, ears flat. His markings made him really stand out. Then, as soon as his eyes and ears opened, he'd always be the first to bumble towards the front of the crate when I'd greet them. I knew, from the start, that he had already found his forever home with me, his brother Madoc and 'other' brother, Gryff.

17. They are curious.

At first they'd do some soft hissing, lip curling. Now if I hold a kitten out for them to inspect, they sniff and maybe to a soft paw tap. Then the turn around and trot off.

The only thing I've really noticed change is Madoc seems more affectionate than usual. Gryff has always been a cuddle cat but Madoc prefers to curl up next to me, rather than on my lap. Until recently, that is. Now I get significant snuggle time from both big boys.

18. I see that Arthur is front and center again, looking adorable and "posing" for the camera!

I'm sure that you two will have a blast together, along with your other furry housemates. The others are lucky, too.
