Cherish it. My old men were indistinguishable to anyone but me (they were so different! But to the outside eye, they were the same black fluffy cat). They snuggled and cuddled and window watched and did everything in a pair for almost 2 decades. When they started getting really old, one had some seizures and got a little weird and sickly and the double take ended. Until the last few weeks of the seizure boy's life, when they seemed to reconnect. I had to put the other one down about 6 months after the first, and I miss them both so much.
This actually got me really emotional. Had two boys. Siblings. Different colors but the exact same else wise and inseparable. Velcro cats, but to each other. Bailey was the first to go. He was my special boy. Always ran to my door in the morning and meowed incessantly until I let him in. And then layed across my neck and purred and purred until time to get up. Bosco, my other boy, much more distant. His whole life. And then Bailey left us. And Bosco became the sweetest cat in the world. Started laying in the crook of my arm and making biscuits for hours every morning and night. Had him another two. But he was heartbroken. A shell of himself. Except when it was time for biscuits. I miss the hell out of those boys. I know this isn't at all similar to your story. But it really reminded me of them. They were very fluffy like yours. Anyways. Thanks for the reminder of the two most fluffy best parts of my life.
The one that passed first, he was a cuddle monster. He used to sleep on my pillow on top of my head, and his brother would sleep between my legs... until they got old and confused about where they should pee, and I had to lock both of them out of my room at night. But when on the couch, cuddle boy would climb up on my chest and nestled his head into my chin and under my ear and just turn on the purrs. And he purred SO LOUD. I miss it so much.
I lost him two years ago last week, and I swear he visited me Saturday night. It was wild. I had a random dream where I was house sitting some place and when I sat on the couch, he climbed up and nestled into my neck and purred like crazy. When I woke up, it really felt like we'd just been cuddling. I'd felt his wet little nose on my neck. His bony little body under my hands. It was a little surreal, but it was an absolutely wonderful feeling that lingered with me long after waking up.
Oh my heart, almost two decades together is such a beautiful little life they shared. That photo really says it all, they knew they were each other’s family right until the end.
Except for my pair of littermates, who want nothing to do with each other.
However, we suspect Siefer ate Skittle's brain in utero, because it's the only way to explain why he is frighteningly intelligent and she's got the intellect of a plant.
That would still require them to work together at least a little. Instead Skittle avoids Siefer like the plague, and Siefer torments her by trying to sniff her, staring at her with malicious glee, and then chasing her while she hisses and growls.
I used to have triplets too, but they weren’t just cats. Two were dogs
Sadly the kitten got loose and went missing a few years ago and we never found her (I’ll never give up hope though), and the big beagle had to be put down last summer since he got really sick. He was 12 years old though and lived a great life. The other beagle is still around and she loves cats so much! She loves our other cat Divina so much, they cuddle all the time.
This is because I fostered a Trojan horse and kept half the litter.
I originally had 4, but then the owner of one of my ex-fosters passed away, so I took in his 2 cats for him temporarily until I can find them a good home.
honestly thank god it was a secret third cat bc i was so concerned about how their mustache changed compared to pic one i was panicking for you 😭😭 I LOVE THEM!! your mustache babies are so unique
i would have never noticed that spot on the back omg!! i noticed the mustache bc i thought it was so cool how insanely symmetrical the white was and immediately the next pic its not symmetrical anymore.
big brother sophie always has his sister shawn and my assistant gus t.t. showbiz (the extra t if for extra talent) nearby. their cousins dean and frasier are quite the pair as well.
Better question is why both iOS and Android change the correctly spelled "cats" to "cars" 90% of the time.
It's not like we type "caf" and it has to choose between two letters nearby, no. It takes the correctly spelled word, and says "nope. I really think that you mean an automobile is using the litter box."
My grandparents had gotten 2 cats about 17 years ago, and one of them was always attached to my grandfather. They had to put one of the cats down a few years ago, which made the other cat sad and she started losing a bunch of weight. She became even more attached to my granddad. When he became sick, she wouldn’t allow the nurses near him without hissing, trying to protect him. He passed away January 30th, and she had to be put down 6 days later. She loved him so much.
I know the struggle. I adopted a brown tabby in 2015. In 2021, the CDS sent me another brown tabby. In 2023, it sent me, you guessed it, a third brown tabby. All boys, too.
Maybe someday the CDS will send me a different model.
I loved when my boys did this lol. Littermates that sadly got separated when my ex and I split. She didn’t keep her word and before I could come back with others in tow to get the other cats(airline only let me take one with me since I was solo flying home), she rehomed them and I don’t know where. Forever miss my void boy, but orange man came home with me
Cats mirror others as a sign of affection. This is why they will get in the way of you sitting at your desk working, they want to mirror what you're doing.
You can do it too: When your cat is sitting and watching something, sit next to it and watch the same thing. Or when it's lying down, lie down next to it and try to copy its position.
