“They have been tremendous pleasant and cuddly since day one,” Asa shared with Love Meow.
“The two boys (Joe and Mr.Bean) curl up in my lap each probability they get whereas the three ladies (Miss Tash, Cappuccino, and Inés) favor to make use of me as a cat tree.”

It was clear from the beginning that the 5 had been lacking their mother. They had been throughout Asa for consideration and snuggles earlier than assembly Kona.
When it was time to introduce them to the remainder of the home, Kona was greater than prepared and went proper into the kitten pen when she was given entry, as if she had been being reunited together with her personal infants.
