After nearly twenty years without a cat and a lifetime of never having one at all, this couple suddenly went from zero to two tiny roommates. Penelope and Pearl arrived together, six weeks old and already stealing hearts. Everything about their welcome has been thoughtful, from vet care and microchips to carefully chosen litter boxes, toys, and cozy spots to nap.
They are still settling in, learning the rhythms of the apartment and the people who adore them. One kitten hangs back a little, quietly observing, while the other wastes no time claiming laps and purring at full volume. Mealtimes are already a highlight, followed by serious grooming sessions and immediate naps that look suspiciously like total food-induced bliss.
Working from home means constant companionship, which seems to be helping everyone adjust faster. Small milestones keep stacking up, like hopping gates, exploring new corners, and discovering which laps are best for post-meal cuddles. It is the kind of early pet experience that feels equal parts chaotic and magical. With every purr and nap, it is clear these two are already making the apartment feel more like home.
