Hi all,
My and my wife adopted 2 sweet kittens around a month ago and now we are proud humans under the ownership of Orion (tabby) and Pangur Ban (white).
The kittens were found on a street without mother when they were around a week or two old, kept in shelter for a while and then moved from one foster family to another until we've picked them. With that in mind, there is a lot we'd like to know about them, including the breed and whether the age estimated by the vet is accurate.
1) Let's start with a tabby one, Orion, as it should be easier. He's very wild, loves running around the apartment, catching toys in the air and climbing larger trees (to our disapproval). He's not fond of frequent human interaction, but sometimes he asks for pets and loves sleeping in our laps. His meowing is VERY high pitches and sounds more like small dog's barking... His fur is rather short and my wife thinks he's spotted, while I think he's more of a mackerel type. What do you think? Perhaps he's something in-between? According to vet, his birth was estimated on 10th of September, so he is a little bit over 5 months old, which seems accurate.
2) White one, Pangur Ban, might be more difficult. He's very affectionate, loves climbing on humans, gives kisses and adores being pet. He's more of a ground cat - prefers playing with toys that roll around the floor and is a bit clumsy when it comes to jumping. He has heterochromia and quite long and fluffy hair, for a shorthair (?). He's very vocal and meows frequently. We are thinking between White Russian, Rag Doll or Turkish Van... As for age, according to vet, he is 1 week older than Orion, but he's also much bigger, longer, heavier and acts more mature, so we think the age gap might be 1 months, not week?
Thanks for all the help!
