How is this possible?

I was walking this morning and was thinking about our cats. I am so grateful for these two goofballs.

Split is very loved, given lots of affection, and is a valued member of our family.

However.

• Split needs to lose weight. She is plump and hungry, always.
• Split wants to exercise by chasing the fishing pole’s feather, but all over her face, it is like she is saying, “Eh, toooo much work.”
• Split has a unique shape – as Sam’s nephew describes it, she is a BREAD LOAF. (see picture above)
• Split likes attention, until she doesn’t.
• Split has RBF – if you don’t know what that is, it is short for “resting ‘angry woman’ face.” (also see picture above)
• Split is excited when Banana comes in from the outside and has to sniff and be close, but other times, she hisses and growls for no reason other than the fact that he is Banana.
• Split misses her cat mom, because she likes to “knead” her human mom…in the middle of the night.
• Split takes a backseat to Banana – his personality is just over the top and she isn’t sure how to shine in HIS spotlight.
• Split always loves to be with us and with Banana, she just has a “bubble” you don’t breach.

Banana is very, very loved, given even MORE affection than Split because he is easier to love and more social and ACCEPTS that affection, and he is a valued member of our family.

• Banana, as opposed to his sister, is just the right size.
• Banana is always hungry, but as it goes, his appetite does not seem to bother his waistline.
• Banana loves to be active and exercise and go, go, go, and his huffing and puffing after chasing the fishing pole feather does not phase him in the slightest.
• Banana will “pick up the phone and call” – he will let you know if you aren’t giving him enough attention.
• Banana loves people and he is happy always – his purr-er never stops.
• Banana loves to be with his friends and family outside: neighbor cats, (who happen to be his brother and sister), along with other cats and THE fox. Sometimes his friends don’t consider Banana their friend, but he knows no stranger.
• Banana always loves to be around Split and any other living/breathing creature, because he’s just an all-around good guy.
• Banana is an extrovert and loves to have conversation.

Hmmm.

Sam is Banana.

And…I am Split.
