Foo - They have names!

Not that they'll ever show up when they're called, but my wife finally sorted through the suggestions (thanks, everyone, for your thoughtfulness and originality). She decided what we would call the critters.

Meet Mango and Pumpkin: (Pumpkin on the left, Mango on the right)

How can you tell who's who? They might be pulling the Parent Trap routine.

Well obviously Mango is the fluffier one.

You need to at least give them a last name, too. Cats have complex names, and since you didn't go with Frick and Frack, you should at least use Katzenjammer. ;)

There is a fluffier one?

I has approvement of these kittens!

I have two sads now.

Couch

YAY!!! Since they have my name I think you should send me yearly pics of my god-kittens. They are so adorable!!!! I think their last names should be FOO.

Excellent!



Sh*T and Shinola

Well, I sure couldn't tell them apart.

But Mango and Pumpkin are girls names and they is boys. Not that there is anything wrong with Mangopumpkin.

Well if you think of a Mango & a Pumpkin as colors (orange) then it could be boys names.

I do like the names Mango & Pumpkin for them.

I think Mango and Pumpkin can be boy names :) . Cute kitties!

Have you perused the "Bathtub Adventures' thread mayhaps? You may have to rescind the kitteh names due to moral terpitude on the part of their nominal progenitor.

I don't know about that. It was well within the orange color scheme.

I will bow to your superior wisdom, and henceforth refer to them as "Mango Foo" and "Pumpkin Foo".

As to telling them apart... yeah, it's tough. Mango, however, has dark interior to his nostrils. Pumpkin's are pink. OTOH, can you imagine how tough it is to look inside a squirming kitten's nose?

Dude! OCD much? Alphabetized and everything. :p

Cute kittehs and a great choice of names for the kittehs. Hope they bring you many years of happiness. :D

S'Ok. Soon you'll be calling them "Knockitoff!" and "Youtoo!"

That might be tonight. They're wrassling in the other room and raising a ruckus. Kids will be kids.

Here's the bad news.

Pretty soon you won't have two cute kittens you'll have cats.

Prepare.

They're getting used to me. Put another way: I feel so used-

Those kitties are awesome.

I had a male cat named Pumpkin once, perfectly acceptable name for a boy cat. Well, his full name was Rusty Pumpkin but we always called him Pumpkin.

There is a fluffier one?

That's the same way [the original] MangoPumpkin's parents tell her and her brother, ZucchiniEggplant, apart.

Whereas skijor's parents can't tell him at all from his good twin rojiks. They just call them both, "hey you".

You need to at least give them a last name, too. Cats have complex names, and since you didn't go with Frick and Frack, you should at least use Katzenjammer. ;)

Several years ago we stopped by Petsmart at a big pet adoption day and we saw two long hair orange tabby kitten brothers, looking just like these guys. We were holding them for a while and they were soooo sweet. If we didn't already have two cats we would have adopted them. They were named Frick and Frack. We still talk about them sometimes. I hope they got a nice home.

Those kitties are sooooooooo frickin' cute! Me want.

I wonder same about my smaller dog's siblings, Rex and Rumble. And if they'd recognize each other as sibs if they were to somehow meet up in a few years. They were rescues shipped up to WI from a KY shelter.

I can relate...when Ziggy was younger every time I would try to take a nap he'd go rooting thru my hair apparently looking for a nipple.

Which of course made naps difficult. I took to wearing a hat to thwart him, but he'd try to out wait me. I am somewhat proud to be able to out-nap a cat.

BTW, nothing wrong with Pumpkin as a name - I had orange tabby with 6 toes named Punkin who lived to be 17.

After yesterday, I think Yin and Yang might have worked, too:

Awwwww - pretty babies!!

Please delete these photos before my wife decides she wants 2 more!!!

Hmmm... new rule: the correct number of pets in a house is N+2.

It wasn't until just a couple years ago that I witnessed how good it is to have two critters rather than just one. I had had a dog before. Two is more work in one way. But less in another. They have each other and burn off energy that way in part. I was fortunate to get the second dog (from an animal sanctuary) largely because I was the only applicant [of eight!] that said the new pup would be for a companion to another dog. So kudos to you for keeping the sibs together :)

Do they tear around in the wee hours?

Do they tear around in the wee hours?

You bet. 3AM and they start raising a ruckus in the other room. Too bad I don't get up until 4:30 (started work at 6AM this morning. Ugh.)

Actually, they're wrestling on the floor around my feet right now. They're chasing each other's tail. :)
