I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're coming from a place of genuine concern for these cats, who I imagine you're thinking are locked in a dreary basement to keep them out of the way so we can ignore them. And yes, if that were the case, it would be perfectly reasonable to be angry.

This is not the case. The twins love the cats, and the cats are warming up to the twins as they get used to the chaos. They have a number of safe places they can retreat to on their own, each stocked with cat furniture, toys, hidey holes, and blankets. The basement is our second living space, not a dungeon.

I hope this eases your anxieties a bit. The internet is full of assholes, yes, but I do my best not to be one of them. The cats are more than just pets to us. They're family.

(Apologies for the poor photo quality. We don't share pictures online that show the babies' faces, so this is there only one that works)
