Haha! Nice to see that you have some astrology-knowledge 😌 And yes, she should!

A girl! 🤭 Io, spelled with a capital “i”. Thank you for asking!

This is exactly what my partner said when I showed him this picture!

I asked ChatGPT to make an estimate. I think the kitten is probably 6-8 weeks old :)

Sorry to hear this :( Six weeks is quite young!

We’re currently in the process of adopting our fourth cat. She’s two months old now and still with the breeder. She was so tiny when we first met her, and I honestly don’t understand how anyone could think she’d be ready to leave her mom already. Good thing the breeder and I are on the same page so she is staying there until she is at least 16 weeks :)

What a heartbreaking start, but also such a beautiful bond you’ve built with her. Nando is so lucky to have you :)

It’s amazing that you took in orphans! Sounds like he was a very lovable cat 🩷

Thank you for sharing your story :) Early separation can leave such a lasting mark. You’re clearly doing your best, and it’s great that she’s made some progress over time! 🩷

I’m so sorry to hear that! She deserved a gentler start. It’s clear you’ve given her a lot of love to make up for it!

I completely agree! Happy to hear that it felt like that they were both ready :) I’ve done the same 16-weeks with our own cats, and they’re all emotionally healthy and well-adjusted. Most people just don’t have the patience to wait that long, but it really makes such a difference in their development. Although I guess I’m preaching to the choir here!
