A newly adopted pair of cat sisters have melted hearts on social media after a heartwarming video of their first week in their new home went viral.
The clip shared on TikTok on Saturday, under the username @lillylucysisters, shows the two tabby cats, Lilly and Lucy, curled up in their owner's arms, purring with joy as they nap there together.
"Imagine adopting two rescue sister cats... and this happens in the very first week. Can you imagine what my heart feels like?" reads layover text in the clip. And a caption says: "My heart was exploding."
Adopting two cats from the same litter is a big decision that can go either way. They can provide each other with companionship and prevent loneliness, though this depends on their individual personality.
A Catster article, medically reviewed by Dr. Maja Platisa, explains that kittens from around three to four weeks of age tend to get along up until they reach social maturity, between two and five years, after that things can change.
Sister cats may bond closely or prefer solitude, with some engaging in cuddling and grooming, and others merely tolerating each other. Brother cats often compete for leadership. They can either become inseparable or have endless conflicts.
The advantages of adopting two kittens from the same litter include having constant companionship, entertainment, warmth, and grooming, but most importantly always having a play mate by their side.
To keep tension between them at bay, make sure they each have their own litter-boxes, and food and water bowls. You can also use pheromones to make the atmosphere in the house more chilled for them.

The video quickly went viral on TikTok and it has so far received over 5.9 million views and 1.6 million views on the platform.
One user, XENA, said: "Can you imagine what my heart feels like watching this with a cat who hates physical touch?! JEALOUS."
Average.rosie wrote: "Hi! Just so you know, this is actually really dangerous because your heart may actually melt and/or cease to beat at the proper rhythm because of how sweet they are. Be careful!!"
Rachcondi added: "This is all I want from my non affectionate cat but she looks at me like she is plotting my death."

Beyoncé fans brave scorching heat for Houston hometown kickoff of 'Cowboy Carter' tour
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is to set to light up Houston during the next stop of her "Cowboy Carter" tour. And fans are already braving scorching temperatures to witness the hometown opener. The Grammy-winning singer will launch her first concert in her hometown of Houston at NRG Stadium June 28. The show will mark her first Southern stop on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is poised to perform two nights only on June 28 and June 29. From the United States to Europe, Beyoncé and her fans have powered through severe weather conditions, including an evacuation, cold temperatures and pouring rain to experience her concerts. In Houston, it was the heat they had to beat with the first show landing on a scorching 91-degree day. Despite this, fans swarmed the stadium grounds ahead of the show--some lining up early to secure spots in the VIP pits and others enduring the sun for a chance at merchandise. Bridget and Meghan Ryan traveled to Houston from Wisconsin to see Beyoncé in concert for the first time. After several flight delays and scheduling hiccups, the sisters were determined to snag official merchandise ahead of Saturday's show. Like many other fans, they ended up standing in a long line in the heat. "We're both from the Midwest, so the humidity is a little extra than what we're used to. I figured staying hydrated would be a good plan,' said Bridget Ryan. "I think it was a come hell or high water kind of situation. Whatever the weather was going to do we were going to show." Their determination didn't stop there. "We even talked about if we don't get any today after sitting outside maybe we'll come back tomorrow and try the truck again,' Meghan Ryan said. The H-Town stop comes after Beyoncé wrapped the international leg of her tour – first with a six-night stint in London, followed by three dazzling nights in Paris. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with a 39-song set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.

Coco Gauff says criticism of Aryna Sabalenka's French Open comments went 'too far'
LONDON -- It didn't take long for Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka to patch up their relationship after this month's French Open final. Now as Wimbledon is about to start, Gauff is hoping everyone else can also forget what the top-ranked Sabalenka said in the wake of her loss to the American at Roland-Garros. A day after dancing together on Wimbledon's Centre Court in a TikTok video, the two tennis players faced more questions on Saturday about the aftermath of Sabalenka's comments right after the final, when she said her loss had more to do with her own mistakes than Gauff's performance. The Belarusian later wrote to apologize to Gauff and said her comments were 'unprofessional,' but not before she faced some major backlash from fans and pundits — especially in the United States. Gauff is trying to make sure the criticism stops. 'I'm not the person that will fuel hate in the world,' said Gauff, who opens her Wimbledon campaign against Dayana Yastremska on Tuesday. 'I think people were taking it too far. … It was just really targeting and saying a lot of things that I felt were not nice. I didn't want to fuel that more.' Sabalenka, who faces Carson Branstine on No. 1 Court on Monday, said she hopes the TikTok video shows that all is well between the two. 'We are good, we are friends,' the three-time major winner said. 'I hope the U.S. media can be easy on me right now.' Sabalenka reiterated that she never meant to offend Gauff. 'I was just completely upset with myself, and emotions got over me,' she said. 'I just completely lost it.' Gauff did acknowledge that she was initially tempted to hit back publicly at Sabalenka, who said the American 'won the match not because she played incredible; just because I made all of those mistakes from ... easy balls.' Gauff also said she was slightly surprised that it took a while for Sabalenka to reach out to apologize. But once that happened, the American was quick to bury any grudge. 'I preach love, I preach light,' Gauff said. 'I just want us to be Kumbaya, live happily, hakuna matata, and be happy here.' Other players were also pleased to see the top two women's players getting along again. 'I'm happy to see that they turned the page about it,' said Frances Tiafoe, who is seeded 12th in the Wimbeldon men's bracket. 'That's the biggest thing, because they're the best players in the world. So those relationships you kind of need.' Then the American added with a laugh: 'But also it wouldn't be too bad if they were also back-and-forth. That'd kind of be cool if they kind of didn't like each other.'
