We have four:

Rocket, adopted as a kitten from the humane society. 10 years old. She was rescued from a hoarder in Los Angeles.

Keanu, who was a tiny, starving kitten at a co-workers house. 8 years old.

All four have been raised and socialized the same way. Rocket and Keanu both love me and compete for who gets to curl up with me.

Lorelei is, largely, indifferent, unless food is in play. She demands the first right of refusal on all food, which she doesn’t actually EAT, she just wants to inspect it.

Willow is convinced she’s been kidnapped and wants nothing to do with us:

We’ve been bribing her with treats, but she will not cuddle, hates being touched, and will actively back away from you if you try to pet her.
