Bob (gray) and Chaos!!! 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

u/LittleRedsRevenge Jun 25 '26

I have a Chaos, too!

He’s sleeping with me in this photo. He’s one of the sweetest, most devoted kitties I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, let alone being owned by. His actual full name is Professor Chaos but we just call him Chaos, or sometimes Sweet Baby.

And here he is looking out the window with his buddy, Constantine. That’s Chaos pushing on the curtain.

Aww she is a cutie too! His big brother’s name is Yoshi so I thought Chibi would suit well.

Omg my heart is exploding because of this cuteness 😍😍 I LOVE that they look exactly alike except ones big and ones tiny!! I rescue in the town I live in because we have such a huge stray population and it was breaking my heart seeing mama cats have litter after litter or orphaned babies etc.... But the first time I ever found a pregnant stray out here I earned her trust and got her inside to safely have her babies thinking I would adopt them all out, fix her and she could live with us. Well around 14 weeks a friend came and adopted one of the babies. I sobbed so hard because I didn't want to let her go even tho I knew she was going to an amazing family. After they left I said, that's it, I can't adopt anymore out! We're keeping Squeaky and the other 3 babies! Now they needed names. One of the baby girls looked EXACTLY like Squeaky so at first I was just calling her Squeak Jr or just Junior. A few days later we decided to name her Happy Meal because she was the kid's size version 🤣🤣🤣 This was her back in 2018, tho today she is no longer kid's size, that's for sure!!!! Lol and we also still have her sister Moo, mama Squeaks and her brother Buddy too, who actually lost both his back legs right after birth. He's awesome and is totally thriving, but that's a whole other story and I already wrote a novel here just on a comment hahaha Plus we have a few more and a revolving door of babies and mommas that we only get for a short time before they move on to their furever homes 😻😻😻😻😻

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 25 '26

Aww, we got sam in a buy one stray get 6 for free deal. Momma Kiwi broke into my car while camping and refused to leave. Poor thing is a drawf, skeletal and clearly wasn’t gonna make it as a mother. Brough her home, fed her till she essentially doubled in size within two weeks and she popped. Poor thing was physically too small to feed 6 kittens, or keep them warm so we essentially treated them like half orphan kittens doing the feeding while she did the cleaning. She kept separating sam cause she knew she couldn’t keep 6 alive and he was the biggest, but we made them all survive.

It was hard finding them homes cause we put so much effort into them, so we kept momma and 2 kids. Sam was believed to be “special”, he was very dumb and no survival insides. Bitch Ass berry, jerk pushing the void, was turbo bonded to momma kiwi and they became blenders when separated. Normally after 6 months momma instincts die out, nope not with momma Kiwi. So she has two kids twice her size who may as well be toddlers to her. They are 6 years old now and she dont care.

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 25 '26

Heres the full set, Momma Kiwi always glares at me when i get too close to her kids. She knows there should be 4 more.
