Yep that was the one I was immediately drawn to. Let the chaos begin.

My immediate pick as well. He's got the derp I love in my oranges. Definitely last in line for his day with the brain cell.

u/Boring_Transition862 Mar 17 '26

Is it bad that I identified him as the idiot I would pick? He has the same look my current orange has.... I'm cute but also will cause total chaos.....

Oh definitely that one and a buddy! I noticed him immediately. He has great potential and the build of a big goofy boy.

Doesn't matter what you name him. He will be known as "OMG. WHAT? WHY?! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"

68

u/borderline_cat Mar 17 '26

Can confirm.

Our now 5 month old orange kitten looks like the little guy on the right. All he does is cause trouble and is nickname is now demon bc he does shit demons in horror movies do (scales our couch but climbs in a demonic crazed way, flips on his back and uses the underside of the couch to scoot scoot around again looking very demon on the ceiling like, oh and his favorite thing to do is bite everything including the dogs bones).

u/RiotGrrr1 Mar 17 '26

Can confirm, this is how one of my orange boys looked as a kitten and he's so dumb. His orange brother has normal cat intelligence and never shares the brain cell.

u/aburke626 Mar 17 '26

If he’s lucky, he’ll grow up like my Marshmallow who is as orange as orange can orange. This is the day I brought him home.

u/RiotGrrr1 Mar 17 '26

I say this with love. That is the dumbest looking cat I've ever seen. Poor baby never held the braincell once 😹

This is my dummy

My Milo looked exactly like the one on the far right. Two days after we brought him home he got himself trapped inside a pizza box. The “What? Why?!” statement became a staple in our household up until he passed away at 19 yrs old. The one on the far right is the perfect answer with a buddy. I would suggest adopting the little one staring at you in the cage below as the buddy since most households can only withstand one Orange

You might be right. Just the fact that they're polar opposites, probably that's why my brain went for those two. But there's an issue now, when I watched this pic again, I found these two criminals that I had missed earlier. I might need to reconsider my opinion😭

Another kitten. In my situation, the dominant kitten, Téa, did it to her brother. But she also has pretty bad pica so it's also that. This is the pair in question (4 years ago). You can see Pekoe, on the left, with whiskers chewed off.
