When I met these two furballs, they’d barely opened their
eyes. They were two of the 6-kitten litter that my best friend’s brother’s cat
had.
Originally, I’d only planned on having one little kitty, and
that was Joy. I wanted her because out of the entire litter, there were only
two cats that had color on them: Joy [with her single black spot], and another
cat we named Symbah [same as Simba] because he was the exact same color as the
cub from The Lion King.
Weeks later, when the cats were ready to separate from their
mom, Joy was still having trouble adjusting to dry food, but they could no
longer keep the kittens, so I had to take her anyway. So the plan was to grab
the chubbiest cat in the litter, and have him show her all about eating.
That’s how we came to adopt Roki-man as well.
My mom was initially upset that I took two cats home instead
of the agreed-upon one (I still lived with her at the time), but Hiroki grew on
her immediately. Not that she had much of a choice. Hiroki was a complete cuddle-bunny,
and constantly crawled up onto her lap so he could sleep on her chest. She had
no choice but to love him.

Now, they’re all grown up [they’ll be 4 in July] and they
are still as sweet as ever, although a bit more mischievous than I’d ever
imagined them to be. They love to get into places they don’t have any place
being, and they complain quite loudly when we try to take them away from the
spot.
[Joy]
They’re also just like me! Quite ‘derp’ and dorky, they
constantly demand attention, and they’re the best kittehz I could have ever
imagined having.
[Hiroki]
I absolutely love my furry babies and I couldn’t imagine not
having them in my life.
