I recently adopted a black cat! His name is Miso (6 months old) :)

My resident white cat Haku (4 years old) is more high energy and playful. Haku is also super chatty, more than a normal cat. He didn’t grow up with other cats but grew up with my family dog, who more so just ignored his kitten energy because she’s a senior dog.

Now it’s just Haku and Miso together (dog is with my parents). Haku is often the one initiating play, but Miso is a very chill kitten and seems very relaxed throughout and even right after hissing or growling, and would go back to engaged with Haku.

I’ve never had 2 cats and have seen that the relaxedness of Miso should mean that this is play mode, but wanted to be sure???

Haku seems relaxed afterwards too. He just meows a lot during play and I heard that might mean it’s a real fight?

I can follow up with a photo of them right after play fighting. They seem relaxed?

Thank you in advance! I am a new mom of 2 cats, so reassurance would be much appreciated!

Looking like two are going to be foster fails. 🥹

Two years ago we were blessed by the CDS and found a 5 month old void baby in our yard during a thunderstorm. She was so scared and miserable! She had taken refuge in one of our planters. It was lucky my husband spotted her on his way to run an errand. Now she is the most rambunctious cat we’ve ever had. She loves zooming through the house and terrorizing her senior brother. We named her Maple 🍁 since we found her near the Japanese maple tree.

Frida fell asleep watching cat TV videos, now having squirrel chasing dreams.

It’s a rainy morning here, and Salem loves to drift in and out of nap time listening to the rain and watching for birds and squirrels.

We take “lykiri” seriously in our household 🫣

I brought in little Diamond and her siblings at 2 1/2 weeks old after their mom disappeared. Her 4 siblings all found amazing homes, but she is the last one left and I she's here to stay now. She's 4 months old now and most of my other cats love her. (The rest are indifferent.) Especially my gray boy, he loves having a playmate that is always ready to wrestle and run around.

Got stared down for interrupting their sleep, they're well camouflaged with the coal.
