A litter of five kittens was brought to Meow Parlour, a cat café and animal rescue in New York City, earlier this year in the hopes of a better life. Christina Ha, one of Meow Parlour’s founders, took them in and began bottle-feeding them 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In foster care, the kittens flourished. They were sent to Molly, a rescue volunteer, for socializing once they were weaned. “I work as a teacher. My 5th grade children had a window into my world of fostering since we spent so much time on Zoom over the previous year, and they became extremely active in the process “Molly was the one who shared.
The pupils agreed to assist with the naming of the kittens and took the responsibility very seriously. The five were affectionately named Kanta, Mei, Totoro, Satsuki, and Kiki after characters from a Japanese anime film company, following many talks.
When the kittens spotted Molly’s lap, they all decided to swarm upon it at the same time. Molly learned that if she sat down on the floor, she’d be surrounded by purring kittens in no time.
“These kitties were quite nice and adored humans. When I arrived home from school, I’d sit down on the floor and all five of them would quickly cuddle up on my lap, which became rather amusing as they grew older “Molly talked about it.
The kittens immediately developed accustomed to gathering around the lap, expecting their next lap session.
They would lay their liquid-like bodies over Molly’s legs or wrap their arms around them without hesitation. These delightfully feisty kittens grew into the most adorable lap cats and cuddle-bugs.
The kittens would take over the enormous bed and fill their room with booming purrs if Molly’s lap wasn’t available. The kittens came racing as a clowder to provide some “help” as soon as Molly grabbed up a broom to clean the room.
The five would eagerly burrow onto Molly’s lap for a much-needed snuggle-fest after “assisting” their human with duties. Between playtimes, they liked resting with their favorite person.
“Kiki is frequently seen seated in a stately, gentlemanly manner. He is happy when he is with his human “Molly penned an essay.
“Mei has always been the tiniest, therefore she was obsessed with eating and sleeping for a time in order to gain two pounds! She’s quite fun and roly-poly with her siblings now that she has.”
“Satsuki is a complete lover who will squirm into any position to snuggle up with her person.” As you touch her smooth tummy, she lays on her back and purrs.
“Kanta is often constantly leaning on his human, or second love, shoes casually. Totoro is a fearless adventurer who likes to brush your cheeks with her moist nose.”
Molly planned to place the litter of five in excellent homes where they would always have a playmate to roughhouse and snuggle with when they were old enough for adoption.
Satsuki and Mei were able to discover their ideal house together in no time. “While all five kitties are best friends, these two have a particular affinity. I’m relieved that they’ll always have each other “Molly talked about it.
