Brutus is an older kitten that appears at A Litter of Cats Who Love Each Other. She is one of Bob's children. She and her brothers, Bill and Bob Jr., are collectively called the Boblets. She is Bob's only daughter, as well as Bob's only Tabby Tortie kitten. Her name was chosen because it's a cool-sounding name that fits with the B names of the rest of her family. She and her siblings were first sighted on May 31, 2024.

Behavior

Since Brutus was little, she's been the most independent and brave of her siblings. She almost immediately got used to the food dropping from the feeder, and was able to stay and eat while her brothers ran scared from the feeder. She also showed up to the feeder alone most often as a baby. She enjoys eating but is not a dominant personality at the feeder. Especially when she was little, she'd sit and watch her brothers eat before she ate herself, and if her brothers came while she was eating, she'd let them squeeze in. As a kitten, she seemed to be the closest kitten to her mother, as she could be seen snuggling up against her and sleeping on her quite a bit.

As she got older, she stopped showing up to the feeder as often as her siblings; however, she can still be seen pretty often. She still shows up alone often, although she gets along with both of her siblings, especially Bob Jr. She's developed an aggressive side as she's grown, as she now occasionally hisses and swats at cats who come to close or are eating when she wants to eat.

Appearance

Brutus is a Tortoiseshell Tabby cat. When she was little, she looked almost entirely brown, but as she grew, her orange spots could be seen more clearly. She also looked extremely scruffy as a baby, but her fur has looked much neater as she's grown. Her orange and brown fur blends nicely on her back, with her upper back being slightly more orange, and her lower back being slightly more brown. Her sides are mostly brown, with flecks of bright orange throughout. Her tabby stripes are very faint on her back, but they can be seen more clearly on her sides, and especially her legs. Her tail is dark brown.

Brutus does not look as Bob-esque as her siblings. (It probably helps that she's not orange.) However, Bob's genes can still sometimes be seen in her, especially when she's pouting. She looks quite a bit like Lance, Dame Knight's Brown Tabby. As they've grown, it's become much easier to tell them apart. Most noticeably, Brutus's back has more of a Tortoiseshell coloring, while Lance's back is very light with bold, dark spots. Also, Brutus has a wide, dark stripe running down her nose, while Lance has a very narrow stripe.
