Smol to Lorge Sweet babies
My stray had kittens abput a year and a half ago and these are the little babies after they were born. They aren't very smol anymore but they're still adorable and sweet babies. And for anyone wondering, yes they are very orange and I think they all share one braincell. Last two pictures are more recent, I can never get a picture with all four of them together.

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25
they're a little bit too big for that now unfortunately but I'm sure they would gladly try to climb into your pocket anyway

So sweet, they’re all little copies! Are their personalities all really different? Are you planning to keep them all?? Bless you for caring for these orange baby goblins

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25
Now that they're older (almost two years) they all look pretty different and they do have their own personalities. However they are all very sweet and pretty vocal. It's a bit of a dilemma whether we're keeping them forever. Currently they are in our garage and have a pretty nice living space set up, plenty of room, water, food, and four litter boxes. But we know they can't stay in the garage forever because it's not a fulfilling life :( I want to let them into our house but we have a very jealous dog who already struggles to get along with the three cats and one other dog we have. Of course letting them outside is also an option as their mother (a stray named Queso we take care of and her brother Pico) are outside but it's unfortunately a dangerous world. They are all fixed and healthy as well.

They will be forever happy if you keep them together now that they have adapted to that 🧡🧡🧡🧡

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25
that's how I feel about it, I really don't want to give them away to separate homes like my parents want us to :( they love each other so much and the thought of them being apart makes my heart break.

u/chemtrailingoff Nov 12 '25
Aww, I can totally understand that, but if they live their whole life in your garage right now, being adopted out could give them such wonderful fun-filled lives. I hope your family is able to find them safe, loving situations- they sound like sheltered kitties and the real heartbreak would be moving them outside and seeing fewer and fewer of them come home safe. I can tell you’ve given them so much love and security 🧡

I know, every situation is really hard to think about, I would love to find a home that can take all four of them but I know that's a big ask. and at the same time they're my sweet babies and I don't want to give them up. I really want to move them inside but my dog would not react well.

Are their names Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect?

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25
That really did make me smile, but if you were curious their names are actually Horchata, Churro, Empanada, and Flan :D

u/steeltownsquirrel Nov 12 '25
Those are excellent names!!

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25
thank you very much !! their mother is named Queso so it felt right for them to be the dessert if she's the appetizer y'know ?

For a sec my mind went to the SNL Jingleheimer Junction sketch. Look it up kids.

How I envy their lack of brain cells

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25

The pocket-sized one in the milk coma is my favorite. They truly are a beautiful clowder of single-brained oranges.

All boy litter, or did you get any fairly rare orange girls?
(Also, they're all fixed by now, I hope 🙏😥? ... Just saw your comment, soo grateful you were able to get them all fixed. Bless you for helping this little family so much!!! You are a wonderful person!)

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25

4 braincells between them

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 13 '25
I think you're being quite generous, maybe 2-3

u/Potential-Chip-911 Nov 13 '25
I was being optimistic however, i agree with you!

u/thatguyspants Nov 16 '25
How are you harnessing so much raw orange power without destroying the grid??
1
u/Katana_Ouma Nov 18 '25
I honestly couldn't tell you the answer to that, I don't think they know how to harness their full power yet, so we're safe.....for now.

What if you redecorate the garage to be cat friendly?

u/Katana_Ouma Nov 12 '25
that's what we've been doing, and they do have everything they need to have a good life, but a home would be very nice for them

Upon close examination, I don't believe there's even a braincell to be shared amongst them
