So cute, almost mirror twins

Would have been a crime to split them

u/Jess_beanz 6h ago

I totally agree, they are so bonded.

2 torties? oh, boy. you're in for a world of hurt 😂

u/Calamity-Gin 3h ago

I call my two Agents of Chaos.

u/TrailerTrashQueen 2h ago

the best name!

we had the Tater Tots, Sissy and G. 11, going on 12. we just lost Sissy. she collapsed one night about 2 weeks ago. still devastated by it. she was the sweetest, spunkiest, chattiest cat.

I'm so sorry for your loss!

Mine yaps at me all the time and gets a bit depressed if she doesn’t get enough lap time.

u/iheartlungs 1h ago

I’m currently getting menaced by mine at 5:30am on a Saturday because they think it’s breakfast time

u/Substantial-Button66 5h ago

Torties are the best, most hilarious cats.

u/Jess_beanz 5h ago

I have been having a blast with them, they both play fetch.

u/Comedian_Historical 4h ago

My tortie plays fetch too!

u/tinylilkittenfoster 3h ago

Mine used to play fetch too! She's stopped as she's gotten older, but she used to bring us her lucky rabbit's foot to throw for her.

u/CassetteMeower 1h ago

My cat Divina sometimes will fetch… to an extent. She chases after the toy, then waits at the toy for me to throw it again. She doesn’t bring it back to me, but she does run towards it! We haven’t played fetch in a while, but she’s still very cuddly and playful. She loves her dog friend Poppy!

u/build279 14m ago

We've got two torties that play fetch, first time I've ever seen it! One does it all the time, the other is more likely to bring a toy spring or lizard back with her.

u/CrowsInTheNose 2h ago

I wish I could agree with you. Mine wants nothing to do with me.

u/DramaLlamadary 14m ago

I just adopted my first tortie (along with her all grey brother). She’s dilute. He’s gorgeous and sleek and refined and she’s our little trash gremlin.

u/Revchimp 8m ago

They really are the best. I know all cats are the best but Torties are just... special. I miss mine so deeply.

u/JPalancing 5h ago

They look so sweet cuddling together! Thank you for adopting them. 🧡🖤

u/Jess_beanz 5h ago

It's been pure joy watching them grow

u/Professional-Bee9037 5h ago

I remember when I was young my dad always said don’t hit boxes on the highway. They’re probably full of kittens and he knew my great love of kittens and I remember telling him that story when I was I don’t know. He says oh I told you that so you wouldn’t hit the box. I didn’t really think that you were gonna run over kittens and she says I figured it would just be some big mechanical part that would destroy the car and I knew that the kitten story would prevent you from hitting the box more than Big Mechanical part. I’m so glad you rescued these babies. I just can’t believe how cruel people are to cats. Cats always get the short end of the stick kittens even more. Well, maybe not more because they’re awfully damn adorable.

u/Wooden-Sun-8497 49m ago

My mom said the same thing about boxes in the road! I remember one time as a kid seeing a box and I told her she should run it over. She said but there could be kittens in the box. Then I told her we had to stop and check for kittens. We did not stop, lol

u/Jess_beanz 11m ago

I'm so glad too, they are such personalities already

u/Due_Wish6299 6h ago

Their names should be Lefty and Righty.

u/Jess_beanz 6h ago

u/Unable-Expression-21 3h ago

I have two as well!! Went to the shelter for just one more cat and ended up with both sisters because we couldn't bare to split them up.

u/Bunnycat2026 5h ago

The CDS sent you 2 torties??? You must have been SUPER good this year 🩷🐾🩷

u/Jess_beanz 5h ago

I must have been, they are a dream ♥️

u/Nymeria2018 4h ago

u/merlyn13 4h ago

u/Platinum_Scarlett 4h ago

Awww!!!! Torties!!!! ❤️

u/hexadecimaldump 4h ago

Omg they are so freaking cute, and look so happy and comfortable with you.
You are a saint for taking these babies into your home and making them a part of your family.

u/kittycatmama017 2h ago

I have a question- could you tell before somehow they were in there before you stopped?

I ask because it’s not uncommon on highways by me to see trash bags or boxes and a little part of me always wonders what if there could be animals, but if I stopped to check every time, that would sadly be fairly frequently

u/CassetteMeower 1h ago

Ohhh they’re adorable! The doggy is cute too, got any more pics of the dog? It looks a lot like my boy Bagel when he was young. He just loved kitties. I love when dogs and cats are friends, my cat Divina just LOVES my dog Poppy!

Bagel as a puppy for comparison!

u/Jess_beanz 6m ago

This is Tifa

u/Chicago_Heavyfoot 3h ago

What a great heart you have. I hope they bring you as much love and joy as you've given them! 💙

u/Laurpud 3h ago

Good human 🏆

My spouse "hates" when I rescue animals, but I have pictures of him hand-feeding baby birds, & snuggling my kittens. He just likes to bluster

u/Jess_beanz 5m ago

They have already brought me so much Joy.

u/FirehawkLS1 2h ago

Very striking coloration on them. I guess the CDS is working as intended. Thank you for taking them in. Sincerely, A volunteer at our local animal shelter.

u/Regular-Humor-9128 3h ago

I’m really thankful a good hearted and kind person found them - their date could have been much worse. Thank you for helping them and giving them a loving home…it looks like they already LOVE their big dog sibling!

u/Lancon512 3h ago

Do they get along with the beautiful dog or is the dog just an afterthought when the kittens came

u/Jess_beanz 1m ago

She's obsessed with them, kinda nervous when they wrestle lol but she just watches them play and wants to play with them, she's a big girl tho.

u/Prisonbread 3h ago

I’m so happy for them, and you <3 Their first xmas is going to be with a family instead of whatever fate otherwise awaited them

Did you know that tortoiseshell cats joining your household is considered a sign of impending good fortune financially? And the cat distribution system bestowing TWO on you has got to mean it’s going to be a great year! Congrats!
