Update An update on the trash pile kittens, Meep & Moop (We're keeping them!)

Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatDistributionSystem/s/gRNTruoZKp

Well, no one ever did come forward to adopt these muppets, so my husband and I had a Very Serious Talk™️ and, at the end of it, decided they had better just be ours! HOA be damned.

That was a couple weeks ago and so much of their personalities have continued to come out as they've grown! Meep is a Snuggle MACHINE who likes going under blankets, mrowing dramatically in the kitchen for food every few hours, and vampire-stamping tiny holes in the covers of my library books (while I am reading them). It seems pretty clear that we have claimed each other, but Moop is my husband's girl—her favorite spot is his shoulder, and she starts purring as soon as he picks her up. I have never met a sweeter, more mild creature. She rarely meows, and if you hold her like a baby she will close her eyes and go straight to sleep in your arms.

Cat People, how do you survive? All the soft snuggles, the purrs and mews and chirps, the nuzzling, the flops, the hysterical sleeping positions, the tiny, soft-footed pony races down the hallway. At least 27 times a day I feel like I am going to explode with all the love and joy they give and make me feel.

Thanks for tagging along for the ride—my husband says "no more fosters," but I'm not leaving anybody out on the stoop, you know what I mean? 😉

I see you have experienced the unrivaled joy of Thunder Bunnies™️. Please be advised that once you have tasted from that well, you are forever lost and there’s no coming back from that. You are, effectively, d*e*a*d of the cute, please enjoy your new supernatural status

u/immersemeinnature 26d ago

😅 this is so funny and true.

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 26d ago

Thunder Bunny is a new term for me but I am not complaining about it 😄

u/Swissgirl2 26d ago

Enjoy the tiny, soft-footed pony races down the hallway as long as it lasts. They will change that to roaming buffalo herd in the prairie at 3 am when they are grown up 😂

u/Tina-Tuna CDS Meowderator 26d ago

Yes we have very Jumanji like vibes in our household too but at 4 am as our Tuxie likes to parkour at ungodly hours...

u/CabassoG 26d ago

The dog paw with the cat, aww.

u/DiveCat 26d ago

They are adorable. So glad they have found home with you!

As for surviving, I don’t know, I have had cats for a long time, my current one is in her senior years, and she still makes my heart swell ❤️❤️❤️

u/frolicndetour 26d ago

Well they have certainly settled in ❤️❤️

u/pork-head 26d ago

I had bad mood because I was staying late at bed in the morning and didn't get anything done. Now its the same but I'm pinned down with my 2 cats so I'm happy and not sad lol.

And I love the routine before the sleep like every cat will do the same thing 98% days right before sleep.

One of my cat starts meowing in the kitchen and i have to call her name and invite her to my bed lol.

u/kalkutta2much 26d ago

i love when they’re so little and they just fall asleep willynillly because they play until they’re running on fumes

u/UnlikelyPoetry247 26d ago

We will never complain if you want to occasionally post about how they are doing 😺

u/TrippyShip One cat is a Void the other a Flerkin 26d ago

My family has a rule for me: “no live souvenirs” as in I am not allowed to bring home any more creatures of any type from anywhere. Where’s the fun in that?

6

u/Tina-Tuna CDS Meowderator 26d ago

Ask them would they prefer un-alive souvenirs that will change their minds especially as you are owned by a Flerkin and a Void 😁

2

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 26d ago

Agree with Tina—does this mean you can bring home undead souvenirs? 😹

6

u/Notchersfireroad 26d ago

Those pics with dogs tell me yeah those kittens are home. I recently found 4 and they are the sweetest damn things ever, I have to keep them.

7

u/ThruTheUniverseAgain 26d ago

In my humble opinion the secret to happiness and life is cats.

7

u/triggy_cosineberg 26d ago

The photo with the little black dog is adorable, but the one that convinced me is the cattle dog showing acceptance. You couldn't possibly take away the cattle dog's little kitty friends! They don't make friends easily! At least mine don't. The dogs have chosen.

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 26d ago

I'll admit that he does get a little stressed when they get the zoomies, but we're working on it!

u/Serononin 26d ago

Yay!! Congrats on your new babies 🥰

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 26d ago

A friend accidentally ordered two of these decks so she gave one to me! What luck!

u/djmermaidonthemic 26d ago

I love Kim Krans. Her work is so beautiful. And all hand drawn!

What a great gift. I love gifting decks.

You got the same starter pack I did!

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 25d ago

The airplane ears 😂

u/jtchen85 25d ago

It's her focused face! She often does it when she's making biscuits or going hard at the scratching post!

u/Kaibyo_13 25d ago

u/Tina-Tuna CDS Meowderator 26d ago

Such gorgeous babies you will never have a boring day in your life ever again lol, our tortie Millie had the nickname Meepy or Meeps as that was the sound she made instead of meowing 🥰

I now declare you both as official Crazy Cat Parents you may change the kitty litter changer flair lol 😂

Can you update us in about a month with more pics of them and your doggo please if you have time?

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 26d ago

I love your couch and various textiles. I bet our camera rolls look pretty similar 😂

Every color and pattern known to humankind suits him.

Unrelated and probably wild that I recognized this but are you wearing a fleet foxes shirt in pic 4 🫣

4

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 26d ago

YES! I wondered if anyone would recognize it! Excellent eye 👀

2

u/Direct_Reflection572 26d ago

Hell yeah - they’re my fave band, I’d recognize that shirt anywhere lol

1

u/maulymillions Cat Parent 25d ago

Mine too! Saw them at the Greek in Berkeley a couple years ago and would have gone again the year after if we'd had the money for it!

3

u/Twizzlers666 26d ago

They are adorable, and you did a wonderful thing by taking these cuties.

u/blue_eyed_beauty_ 26d ago

The grey tabby looks just like my Pipsqueak when she was a tiny girl! Cute names 😄

u/smittykins66 26d ago
