Back in February of 2021 my girlfriend at the time and I came across a craigslist ad of some kittens that were for free in a neighboring city so we reached out and ended up taking home two from the litter; a boy kitten (Kobain) and a girl kitten (Kehlani). They are brother and sister from the same litter and are extremely bonded and cannot be separated. Everyday they spend much of their time interacting with each other whether it be playfully wrestling, or grooming each other or just simply laying and cuddling next to each other. Kehlani is very sweet and gentle, she's a little bit more shy compared to her adventurous brother but still very cuddly and loves to come hang out especially when just hanging out at home. They're both pretty responsive to their names and love to play. If you're looking for some cats that will cuddle with you and hang out then these are the ones for you.
