My fiancé and I got a kitten! We’ve always wanted a black cat. They’re like fuzzballs with eyes.
This is Jerry! Also toe beans.
Ryan has had pets before, but this is my first one. My mom is quite allergic to both cats and dogs, so we couldn’t get one when I was younger. I got fish, but it wasn’t quite the same. So I promised myself that when I grew up and moved out I would get a pet. And here I am! My first Kitten! Who is, even as I type this, batting at my fingers because they’re moving.
He likes to sit on my shoulder.
Jerry is already very, very loved. Claws and all.
What’s your experience with pets? Your favourite moments? Do’s and Don’ts? I would love to hear from you all!
I’m so glad you chose a black kitten! I have cared for a number of strays and their kittens, and our last mother was a long-haired black and white cat, and half her kittens turned out to be black.
Black cats are notoriously hard to find homes for, because people still have stupid superstitions.
Kittens are so much fun, and then they grow up into great friends.

I have heard that they’re adopted less, which makes me really sad. I think they’re the absolute cutest.
Very excited that we have a black cat!

What a cutie, I have five, …four are ginger, the other is exactly as you describe, a black furball with eyes, and she is a little diva. Congratulations on your first pet, a great choice.

It’s good, that you and your fiancee are sharing things, start small, with a pet first, then, maybe, kids’ll come later, who knows??? Congratulations on your new pet together!

adorable! i got a cat, a 2-year-old female, about a year ago. she found me. the first few months were challenging as i had never been around pets before and there was a lot to learn..and to accept. i am glad i did as i am head over heels in love with eva. she’s feisty and a brat. cat kisses are my favorite thing. people say cats are aloof but eva is very affectionate. and independence does not mean they don’t enjoy the attention and love. my love to jerry!

I’m definitely learning too. He’s super energetic but also very, very affectionate. It’s incredibly heartwarming. I’d say he’s anything but aloof!

Sweet! I had two black kittens, brothers. They were right clowns. One once caught a worm, didn’t want me to take it away, so he sat on it so I couldn’t see it. He had such a look on innocence as the head of this thing pocked out from underneath him wriggling away, “I’ve got nothing here”.

They sound absolutely adorable! I’ve definitely gotten a couple innocent looks already. Mostly after he claws at the lamp. Just can’t get mad at him though…
