The white one is Schlomo and was trying to clean himself - between cuddling with me

Fenri was a bit asleep, but seems to already react to his name

And finally, another group photo :⁠-⁠)

Edit: I also need to say, this is their 3 week birthday :⁠-⁠)

I'm going to need more of these. Many more.

I'm trying my best o⁠:⁠-⁠)
They're just in their dark room - chosen by the mother, because my perfectly built cat cave with blankets was seemingly to exposed.

And it's very dark in the room and I will not use a flash on eyes, that have never seen the sunlight.

So it's hard to get good pictures.
Especially I'm currently alone with them. But my wife comes back from her business trip tomorrow night, and then I'll hopefully have a hand free - currently I'm missing one, as mother and both little ones demand attention...

Bless you for trying anyway. They're truly precious, and I appreciate holding tiny sleeping babies takes absolute priority over photos.

Thanks :⁠-⁠)
I was very reluctant to even pick them up in the first place.
But they were sneezing sometimes and vet told me to weigh them daily then.

I wasn't sure, if Fenri/red one was just more open to being picked up, but at their checkup the vet picked him up and he was fighting with everything he got.
Vet and assistant even discussed, if it is really already possible for him to hiss.

I did the obvious move and said completely cool, to just hand him to me, while they finish their checkup with the rest.
I was so prepared, that I was falling on my mouth by being so cool, but the second he touched my hand, he calmed down and cuddled with his head on my thumb.

That really completely broke my heart.
Had tears in my eyes then ;⁠-⁠)
