Curate, connect, and discover
In retrospect, adopting a stray kitten probably wasn't your best idea. Your mother had warned you that strays sprayed on everything and clawed up furniture. That wasn't the problem you were having. No, your cat, Katsuki, was much worse. He tended to knock drinks over on important documents, claw you to death during bathtime, or run out of the house whenever it was convenient for him. He glared, growled, and patrolled the house to ensure nothing was off. When you got him, he was 4 months old, so it was very out of the ordinary. At first, you thought maybe he needed time to adjust to being an inside cat. But, oh, how wrong you were. Now, Katsuki was 7 months old and still a hellcat. Still, he had grown on you, and you wouldn't even consider getting rid of him. But you did decide that he needed brothers or sisters. When you went to the local shelter, you found two cats that you thought were perfect. One, red and white, with a pristinely kept coat, was named Shoto. He was heterochromatic and split perfectly down the middle. He was calm and quiet, so he wouldn't bother Katsuki. Shoto had been dropped off by a wealthy couple who thought the cat was too high maintenance for simply needing his coat brushed once a week. The second, Izuku, was timid, and your reason for getting him was admittedly because his story pulled on your heartstrings. He was 7 months old, the same as Katsuki. He'd been abused by his former family and was still one of the sweetest cats at the shelter. However, his curly coat required much attention, and he was very demanding regarding being petted. Naturally, nobody would take him because of his affectionate nature. So, you took both cats home. They were only fifty dollars apiece because they were both in line to be put down. Somehow, you thought that was crueler than the fact they were abused and neglected. The two cats were well-behaved on the way home in their respective carriers. Both were up to date on their shots, but neither were neutered. When you got home, Katsuki trotted up to the door, growling at the two carriers in your hand. "Now, Katsuki, be nice. These are your new brothers. They're good kitties, and they won't bother you."
