Double Cat Fun

This is my cat. Ginger. Aka Mr Whiskers. Aka Scoodgems. Still not sure how to spell that.




This is his brother, the occasional visitor. Big Brother, I call him. Or, Bro.






Can you tell the difference? Bro has a pointier tail, and is more upright, whereas Ginger is rounder, a little bit fluffier, and cuddly.



The big difference is, when you're outside and it's dark, if you pick up Ginger you get cuddles - he moulds himself into your arms, top feet on top arm, back feet on lower arm, and a purr to accompany that - a cuddly, scoodgy little boy.




Pick up Bro by mistake, and you get FLAIL. Arms and legs everywhere, nuh huh, what do you think you are doing??




Funny thing is, apart from the fact that sure, they come in for food (I'm feeding two cats here on a regular basis, chuh)






I know that Ginger missed me when I was away in France. He was all over me, and in my face, and wouldn't leave me alone when I got back. He was like velcro.



But Big Brother? Every time I open the door, there he is. Don't you have a home to go to, kitty, I ask? Don't they give you scratches like I do? Heck, he almost did that thing recently - the kneading thing. I thought he might crawl into my lap. And he's got a purr like a drill hammer. You could hear that purr two blocks away.



Hello? You're not my cat. I love you pussums, but you're not my cat ...



Can you tell the difference?

  1. Apparently all the cats want to be your cat. It sounds like absence made the heart grow fonder in both cases. If you don't adopt them, they'll adopt you. It's less that they're your cats than you're their human :)
