Cat Picture - OC Welcome home, boys.

It was only a couple weeks ago that we lost our 2-year-old tabby, Duke Clawde Hissybritches, and I didn't really think I was ready for a while, but the Cat Distribution System has seemingly decided it was time for the mourning to end and a new chapter to begin.

I'm happy to introduce Jack o' Lantern (Jack for short) and Voodoo Fitts, who were found by a family member's coworker's neighbor. Said neighbor is afraid of cats (dunno why you'd be afraid of such tiny angels), so the coworker took them in, either to give them to the pound the next day or to give them away.

My family member was the one who was told about these cutie patooties, and we went to grab them that afternoon.

Jack is the Orange Gentleman, and the artist formerly known as Pumpkin until a little extra discussion got us a more festive name. In what must be typical Orange fashion, he's a little lunatic, and weirdly interested in eating his sibling's booty, despite us giving them a bath to clean them up.

Mr. Hissy Fitts, then rechristened Voodoo thanks to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy being on in the car, is the chiller of the brothers, though he was the more vocal about strangers reaching out to touch his tiny, adorable body with their comparatively giant hands, thus the original name.

Both have good appetites, only really old enough to eat soft food. We offered them a bottle but they didn't seem to dig the idea, so Mama Fitts must have weaned them.

They've only been with us a night and half a day so far, but they respond well to us and the dogs (the dogs themselves seeming happy with these new family members), and I wanted to officially welcome them in a more visible sense.

TL;DR: Please welcome the very handsome Jack o' Lantern and the illustrious Mr. Voodoo Fitts!

It's impossible to not find the crashing of a cat system absolutely precious. And sure, I'd be happy to help you find a name for your next fuzzy baby.
