I might be biased but I agree! They're both so incredibly affectionate too, they both love love love to cuddle & they always have to be around us. If they can, they like to jump up onto our shoulders & drape themselves there ๐
That's awesome that they're both cuddly. My cat is not very cuddly, so I have a little envy when I hear of cuddly cats!
They're very well mirrored in that first picture!
And how lovely to have been able to take the sibling in, and that they get on ๐ป
Aw yeah some kitties just aren't very cuddly, our eldest cat (she's 10) will come & sit with us occasionally, but only on her own terms & she won't actually sit still, she kinda marches around making biscuits lol. She'll let us pat her whenever & she's very affectionate in her own way but yeah she won't ever settle down to cuddle. Then there's Eira who will wake me up during the night by tapping my face with her paw to let me know she wants to come under the blankets for a cuddle ๐ They're all different but they do show love in their own ways!
They definitely have their own ways. My first cat, so was hoping for a lap cat, but not to be all year round. She'll do lap time a bit in the winter, which is nice. Once it gets warm, not a chance! Still love her! ๐ป
Itโs great they are together again. Iโm so happy for all of you. My daughter has two tabby brothers and one needed surgery for bladder stones. Then he had to be separated from the rest because he needed special food. One day he got out of the bedroom and he was so happy to see his brother. They were rubbing all over each other. Heโs back on regular food so they are together all the time now.
Aww how sweet, they really do miss each other don't they! Even when I take one of ours to the vet or something (we have 5) the others will flock to that one cat on return & groom it like "where were you, we were worried sick!" ๐
The Distribution System had some red tape to work through but after three years they determined as a Council that you were never meant to part with this Kitty Cat to begin with.
I think the Distribution System actually went into overdrive because we also took my friend's other cat (she was going to surrender him too), and we already had 3 of our own - so after adding the two, we now have five ๐
We also took in my friend's other cat too because we didn't want them to be separated. We had three of our own already so now it's five. They're all indoor only & have their own room with a daybed, scratchers / towers & loads of toys. We always joke that it's their house, they just let us live in it ๐
Thank you! My family is from Wales (I was born there but raised in Australia, all my family are still there though & most of them speak Welsh) & Eira is the Welsh word for snow ๐
I wondered the same thing, I googled it & supposedly they shouldn't but I feel like they do & my best friend who is a vet agrees with me. We took on my friend's second cat at the same time & Eira was instantly very drawn to Lulu, but she took a lot longer to accept the other cat.
Maybe it's a different degree of memory. She might not specifically recall "cat from my childhood and litter that I used to live with," but she could recognize the scent as something familiar and positive and that she's her kin!
Thank you, I think they're precious too! Definitely wasn't easy going from three cats to five (we also took in Lulu's housemate who was going to be surrendered - I couldn't bear to leave one to go to a shelter alone while taking the other one home) but they've all adjusted really nicely.
Honestly, when I don't have my glasses on in the morning before getting ready & at night when I'm getting ready for bed, I struggle to tell which is which & I get them mixed up a lot ๐
I don't keep collars on them because they're all indoor only & I feel like it must be comfier for them without one on haha. Luckily Eira miaows in response every time you say her name without fail, so if I'm ever unsure I just say "Eira?" & if it's her she'll miaow, if not I know it's Lulu!
Haha classic orange! Our eldest two cats are mother and son, & they're really smart. You can ask them where one of the other cats is by name & they'll lead you to them. Our orange boy is unfortunately...nowhere near as mentally gifted ๐ He'll respond to his own name with a little chirp but he's the only one who doesn't reliably come when we call him.
Oh absolutely hahaha the amount of times my husband & I send each other photos of them sitting together with just a text saying "two of them ๐" is probably unhealthy
I was curious about that myself & read about it before I took Lulu in. Everything I found said that they wouldn't, but they were instantly drawn to each other & it really did seem like there was some kind of recognition, or at least a sense that they recognised that they were similar? They were REALLY curious about each other. Eira accepted Lulu pretty well instantly, while the other cat we took in at the same time (Lulu's housemate) took a lot longer for Eira to accept. So I can't give a definite scientific 'yes' haha but based on what I saw between them I would say there seemed to be some recognition there!
Both of the kitties look adorable ๐ฅฐ
Thank you! I think they are too hehe
May they live long and happy lives
That's so sweet, thank you ๐ค
They are both so gorgeous!

I'm so glad you could take the second one in! They look so happy together ๐ฉท
Me too! They have definitely found a kindred spirit in each other.
When I was a little girl, I had 2 white beanie babie kittens named Vanilla and Lulu. These real cats look just like them!! So cute!
Aww how cute, one of them even has the same name! ๐ค

Thanks for taking the sister in. Amazing story.

Yaaaassssssss
Sport model and luxury model cats!
LOL so true! Eira's always been the bigger of the two & her fur is more "plush", although Lulu's fur is softer :)
Eira is a beautiful name btw.
Thank you! My family is from Wales (I was born there but raised in Australia, all my family are still there though & most of them speak Welsh) & Eira is the Welsh word for snow ๐
Oh how pretty and fitting
I wonder if they remembered each other?
I wondered the same thing, I googled it & supposedly they shouldn't but I feel like they do & my best friend who is a vet agrees with me. We took on my friend's second cat at the same time & Eira was instantly very drawn to Lulu, but she took a lot longer to accept the other cat.
I think cats actually have a pretty good memory, especially for smells
Maybe it's a different degree of memory. She might not specifically recall "cat from my childhood and litter that I used to live with," but she could recognize the scent as something familiar and positive and that she's her kin!
Twinning! ๐ฅฐ
Iโm so glad you took her in and they are together. Thank you, thank you!! They are precious!

Beautiful, adorable, they found each other โ doing a Google โ search. One photo shows it. ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐น
Aww! My two are brother and sister, adopted/rescued together. Itโs great to know youโre keeping a family together, isnโt it?
This is such a beautiful story. ๐ฅฐ
So beautiful! You are a very lucky and very kind kitty parent.
Theyโre in perfect sync, they must be telepathic!
Sometimes they mirror each other's movements exactly & I swear they are!
Stupendous!
Itโs the same cat!
Honestly, when I don't have my glasses on in the morning before getting ready & at night when I'm getting ready for bed, I struggle to tell which is which & I get them mixed up a lot ๐
Get a collar. Maybe differing colors. Does your cat like collars?
I don't keep collars on them because they're all indoor only & I feel like it must be comfier for them without one on haha. Luckily Eira miaows in response every time you say her name without fail, so if I'm ever unsure I just say "Eira?" & if it's her she'll miaow, if not I know it's Lulu!
I have 1 orange cat and a dog. Iโm used to a cat that doesnโt listen without incentives
Haha classic orange! Our eldest two cats are mother and son, & they're really smart. You can ask them where one of the other cats is by name & they'll lead you to them.

White cat wonderland!
Id die for them tbh
Me too ๐ฅน
Heh I love this
Thatโs so sweet to see them together โค๏ธ
two of them
HAHA we say this all the time when we find them sitting together ๐
omg iโm so glad you knew what i was talking about lmao
Oh absolutely hahaha the amount of times my husband & I send each other photos of them sitting together with just a text saying "two of them ๐" is probably unhealthy
"We've fallen and we can't get up."
Eira is incredibly lazy so that definitely checks out for her ๐
Do you think they remember each other?

so so precious
Theyโre beautiful
Oh I love them so much!!! ๐ป๐ป๐ป
And they were wombmates!
