| Cat B (never mind the goofy person in the background!) |
Hard to tell these two kitties apart!
Actually, it's easy! Cat A is Angel; her ears are pink inside, and she has white and black fur on them too. Cat B is Aries: his ears are all black, and are dark inside.
However, in a quick glance, it's hard to distinguish which one is which. Surprisingly, Angel and Aries are about the same body size, although I'm guessing that Aries is somewhat older, plus he's a boy. He spends most of his time in our backyard, and he hasn't missed a meal since we've set out a bowl of his very own, rather than having to eat up Patty and Sweetie's leftovers. I think he's moved into Mama's House; the empty shelter we built in 2009 when Sweetie had her kittens. I'll get photographic evidence soon!
Aries loves to be petted and smooched, and he's easily picked up and carried. Cannot say the same thing for Angel: although she purrs when petted, she dislikes being handled (although she relaxes for The Hubby...), and she would rather observe from beyond arms-length. To have her walk toward a human is such a big deal! We love her pink nose and her pink ears and her white whiskers and her shy ways to distraction, and Aries is making himself into a loving part of our cat world too.
