Adopting A Very Curious And Affectionate Abyssinian Kitten

Everyone, meet JellyBean - the cutest, fiercest, most adorable and endlessly affectionate kitten. It's the kind of magical kitten that everyone wants, purring instantly, showing off the floofy belly on the very first car ride home. Not many kittens are this trusting on the very first day, a lot of times it takes a while to build that kind of trust with them. I know that's how it was with my cat.

But not with JellyBean. JellyBean instantly knew that the humans who took her are the best humans in the world and that this is now her forever home, and these humans are hers. She was friendly even with the doggos, and she - like every other adopted kitten - brought joy to a home that was very much in need of it.

"We picked up our new kitten (JellyBean) this week."

"The car ride home was interesting - Abyssinians are known for their curiosity and Beans is no exception - she decided she had to be all over the car... It was starting to get a little sketchy so I had to reign her in and confine her to my lap..."
02
"...where she napped happily for the rest of the ride. She’s the sweetest cat you’ve ever seen, we’re smitten."

Okay, she wins. She's one of the cutest kittens we've seen. Not only curious and adorable but instantly trusting. Some people have to go through years of mild contact and baby steps until they get to the point of belly rubs, but this one... this one is special, and we love her.

"Happy, furry, purry kitty."

04
"Outlasted both of us the first night, had to lure her to bed with a heating pad and her safety blanket."

via TwoStupidDogs
05
"Quickly realized the room had to be cat-proofed (cords and small toys won’t last around a newborn kitten) but thankfully she slept without getting into too much trouble that first night."

via TwoStupidDogs
06
"Woke up to a purring alarm clock, even the leaf blowers outside weren’t enough to get her out of bed.."

via TwoStupidDogs
07
"So we introduced her to the first of our two stupid (but amazing) dogs."

via TwoStupidDogs

"Ollie is a mini-Golden, and as sweet a dog as you'll ever meet. We brought him into her room and he was patient while she went from hissing to shredding his tail. We have a feeling they are going to be the best of friends."
08
"Second day, she hasn’t left my lap. I’m trying to work but it’s hard with this all up in your face every 5 minutes"

via TwoStupidDogs
09
"More nappin & scritches."

via TwoStupidDogs
10
"When there aren’t naps and scritches, she reminds us that we only exist to administer said naps and scritches."

via TwoStupidDogs
11
"Day 3 - Beans is settling in nicely. She just met the second dog (went well) and we look forward to letting her out of her room into the rest of the house soon (the 4am wake-up-and -play calls are cute but I just can’t anymore)."

via TwoStupidDogs
12
"The backstory is my mother had been couch-ridden even before Covid with 2 bad hips."

via TwoStupidDogs

"Our previous Abyssinian had passed away and she was missing his company. We coordinated with a breeder who sent us pictures of Jellybean when she was born in late November."
13
"We got regular updates and planned to put some pictures and maybe a stuffed cat in a box for my mother to open the day-of (since Bean wouldn’t be able to come home for another few months)."

via TwoStupidDogs
14
"A Beanie Baby stand-in for a cat named JellyBean seemed apropos."

via TwoStupidDogs
15
"One pet tag from Etsy later and the dummy was ready for packing."

via TwoStupidDogs
16
"Which we may have gone a little overboard with the wrapping job.."

via TwoStupidDogs
17
"...but whatever. We really wanted to go for big air."

via TwoStupidDogs
18
"Finished product - ready for mama bear to open for Xmas."

via TwoStupidDogs
19
"My mom unwrapping her present Christmas morning and breaking into tears. It was a very happy Christmas and she’s thrilled to have an Abyssinian back in the house."
