HI! Hi hi hi! It's me, Wilfie!
Did you hear me? Everybody usually hears me!I'm a gray and tan tabby, six months old and full of things to say. Some people call it talking. I call it communicating. When I say "Hi!", I mean hi. When I say "Mrrrow!" around dinnertime, I mean it's time to eat, right now, please and thank you. I'm not hard to figure out!
My sister Winnie and I started out on a farm in rural Tennessee. At eight weeks old, we came to our first home together, and we've been indoor adventurers ever since. And adventures are my specialty.
Got a box? I'm in it. A tunnel? I'll zoom through it ten times.

Hello there, friend. I'm Winnie. Please excuse me if I peek at you from behind the couch first. That's just how I say hello.
I'm a gray and silver tabby, six months old, with stripes that shimmer a little when the sunlight finds them. My brother Wilfie and I were born on a farm in the rolling hills of rural Tennessee. When we were just eight weeks old, we rode off to our very first home together. We've been indoor kitties ever since, and I think the indoors suits me just fine.
I'm a quiet girl, but I notice everything: the flutter of a curtain, the crinkle of a new bag, the way the light moves across the floor in the afternoon.
