They're the rescue of a rescue. A friend of a colleague took in a stray that wasn't chipped and turned out to be pregnant. The litter was all accounted for except for the boy (on top in that pic), and then the person who had said they'd take the girl (on the bottom in that pic) also pulled out. I was out drinking in a bar with my colleague who happened to say "Don't suppose you know anyone that wants kittens?" and I'd had enough drink that I said yes, me.
They are both 18m old now, we got them about 9-10 weeks in.
The boy is Orpheus, though we call him Orphée. He's a little silly at times, full of bravado but actually scaredy. Very very expressive face and character, reminds us of a Porg one moment, and then looks intelligent and philosophical the next — he's very emotional, doesn't like not being close, and always has to know what's going on. He is food motivated, and always on the hunt for food. Orphée is loved more by my partner.
The girl is Persephone, though we call her Sephi. She's really smart, very aware, watches, is not food motivated at all, and prefers play but it has to be a good game. She's extraordinarily affectionate and likes to feel safe. She sleeps on one of my legs every night, and will climb onto me for cuddles in the evening, and is sleeping on my desk right now. But she doesn't crowd or need attention, it's on her terms. Sephi is loved more by me.
As for food - they both absolutely love Katkin and eat every morsel and never really bay for food. Heartily recommend Katkin, in fact have a referral code: https://katkin.mention-me.com/m/ol/zx8vi-david-kitchen (gets you 50% off if you try it out).
Seriously — I recommend Katkin, they love the stuff (and their poo stinks a lot lot less)
They're indoor cats, so they probably hate their prison — but if they do they haven't shown it, that play, their coats are glossy and lovely soft, they sleep well.
They are slowly destroying the soft furnishings and eating the plants though, and so the place is become more cat-proof by the day.
Yes, brother (on top in that pic) and sister.
They sleep on my desk whenever I'm at the computer.
