His initial hostility to the brush is just hilarious, I love it xD

Today I introduced Soot (fondly nicknamed Soots) to Llewelyn! Llewelyn is my favourite calico mix and the designated "greeter" for my crew, because he's so friendly that he usually gets along with everyone. There have definitely been exceptions, but I had high doubts that an orphan kitten was going to be one of them.
They had a friendly introduction before Soot got distracted by a nearby toy and Llewelyn ran off to investigate the room.
Llewelyn kept bringing him toys to play with, but Soot tended to be more interested in whatever one Llewelyn wasn't holding at the time. This would quickly become a running theme in their dynamic: Llewelyn just wants to bring things to him, while Soot mostly ignores him!
Llewelyn carried the squishy toy around for a bit then offered it to him. Soots seemed annoyed more than anything else, but it worked!
Then Llewelyn tried to give him the yarn ball, but Soots was distracted. I threw it instead. It seems like if Soot is interested in one object, Llewelyn will just bring everything else in the room to him to try and get him to play with/eat it.
Fierce!
Soots had a moment of uncertainty/vulnerability. I'm not sure why he got so nervous all of a sudden. He seems to do that sometimes: he'll be fierce and brave and then suddenly just get nervous.
I took them to the kitchen for some food. Llewelyn was much more interested in making sure Soots had something to eat, and Soots was pretty happy to eat everything in sight.
I think Llewelyn has adopted him.
"Eat your kibble, New Son."
It also turns out Soots likes being up high! I took them to the back yard and he spent most of his time sitting on the fence or in a tree while Llewelyn watched him.
Eventually Llewelyn got sleepy, and fell asleep with this shrimp. Soots jumped down to watch him.
Since Llewelyn was tired, I put him away to rest. Despite mostly ignoring him for their time together, Soots was pretty upset. It's okay, Soot! He'll be back.
He got distracted by a bone. Then he dropped the shrimp toy from a tree. Then he THREW it from the tree.
Bye for now, Soots!

I am too much of a sucker for kittens.
Say hello to Pumpkin. Pumpkin was snagged from the Claw Machine on PUGS, and I really wasn't going to keep him--I intended to see what he was like then put him back in the machine--but. Well.
Like most kittens, Pumpkin just wants to play with toys.
He likes tea!
He's not so fond of the camera, though.

Uh oh... Llewelyn is going to have his hands full.
(These are almost all pre-existing crew members I hadn't gotten to bond with before or immediately aged to 100 when I got them haha, so I've decided to naturally re-raise them!)

Gatsby and Pudding adore one another. Soot and Oki, not so much.
I ended up making a spreadsheet of how everyone gets along, and uh...
Man, I was NOT expecting so many of them to dislike each other! It's nice that Gatsby gets along with almost everyone, though. Cutting down the group size (at least until these ones are fully grown and I can replace 'em with a new group) was a good idea, I can't imagine trying to keep track of more than this xD

Gatsby invites Pumpkin over to eat at his table in the cafeteria because no one else will.;_;

You don't need to imagine, I'm living it.
