They are utter retardation. My old (massive, stereotypically weird) cat died recently and I am bereft. There’s a possibility we could get a couple of young adult cats who someone wants to rehome and I’m tempted but it feels too soon …

From my experience with similar situations, it isn't too soon. You're not replacing your cat as a person; you're just filling the employment position he left.

The new kitties will take a while to scout out your house and weigh your merits as a person; by the time they're done warming up, you'll be over the worst of your grief. That's better than waiting until you feel emotionally ready for a new cat, then having to wait a few weeks while the new hire is skittish around you and doesn't want to be petted because maybe you eat cats for dinner, who knows.

I’m leaning towards it. They’re two males, brothers I think, or at least they’re already friends, and fancy pedigree ones, the family who adopted them found out one of the family has a cat allergy after they bought them, and are rehoming. Or at least that’s the story I got, maybe they’re incorrigible hooligans or something.
Thank you. I think I needed that push.
 
Since i've been in bed since tuesday due to a extreme flu, i had free time to fuck around on the internets and found out that this weird fucky face cats do when they smell something them has a name, it's a phenomena called flehmen reaction, they can taste smells

They have a time-sharing agreement with a single brain cell. When it isn't their time to access the brain cell you may see non-intelligent behavior.

This article posits a theory that it's because the gene linked to their coloring also tends to make them bigger, and therefore typically more dominant so they're not as adverse to risk-taking as other cats are.

There might be something to this. The ginger in my family is almost 17 lbs and he isn't overweight, he's just a monster of a cat. He also has the kitty version of autism, so he is very strange.

Your kitty wouldn't want you to be lonely, and these two need you. The CDN (Cat Distribution Network) works in mysterious ways.

Indeed it does.

Sorta. It allows reflow of air with scent particles and/or pheromones in it past the vomeronasal/Jacobson's organ which is a secondary olfactory (scent) organ. It works very similarly to how a photomultiplier tube works with light. Just as a photomultiplier works to multiply a source of faint light, the flehmen response allows an animal to continuously recirculate air with a faint scent in it over the vomeronasal organ again and again, and each pass amplifies the scents signal through accumulated data. So, it basically works as a scent amplifier for scents that are too faint to be detected with the primary olfactory organ that is typically used for the sense of smell. Humans don't have a vomeronasal organ, so we can't do this.

In my family when we see a housecat do this we call it the "stinky face".

I have room in my heart for more cats, but kitty doesn't have any that's for sure. Kitty just wants me. When the day comes I don't think I could stand the absence for long. It won't be a replacement, just a placement. Filling an opening to help another soul have a home. There are so many in need. Endings are also beginnings so I say take the chances before you. Don't wait around. Nothing changes if you don't change it yourself.
 
I haven’t told any Cat stories recently And since we are talking about Orange Cats, I will tell you all about the dumbest Cat I have ever known, who also happened to be Orange, This isn’t a single story but a collection of trivia about this guy:

-All the other cats hated him, because he was so fucking dumb. except for one, who was almost equally dumb and surprisingly not orange. They were real bros but that was it that was the only cat friend he had. He preferred hanging out with the dogs

-and neighbors this dude had zero qualms with attempting to barge into other peoples houses, he was aggressively friendly. Once I saw him outside and he led me down the sidewalk and then tried to get me to go into a strangers house.

-His favorite hobby was going outside, then coming back in, then going back out, and doing this all day every day forever. He would scream at the door to go out at night and scream at window be let back in. I would have to manually move him to a different part of the house lest he keep everyone up all night with his nonsense

-One time he managed to get stuck on the porch roof because he squeezed through a hole in the window screen lol

-Apparently he got real addicted to treats one time and it gave him urinary tract issues because of all the sodium. So this is a PSA to eat cat treats responsibly in moderation

Orange Cats are among the cats of the world so if you are looking to get a cat, get an Orange cat. You will have no shortage of lulz
