The twin's story also involves RB Ernie.
RB Ernie (1986-2003)died in his sleep after living with us for 17 years.

Baby daughter (Missy-Sirrahsim) was about to be married. We were empty nested and no cats. We decided to adopt another adult cat for companionship and to nurture. Well, never dreamed we would come home with a KITTEN, let alone TWO. I had never even had a kitten before! But, there in the cage were two tiny furballs looking up at us and then trying to get to us. Hubby held one and I held the other and BOTH snuggled down like they lived in our arms. Emily licked my hand with that tiny tongue! The *catch* was that they had to be adopted as pair because when they were fostered separately, Eliot's foster mom said he was very despondant without his sister. So far, nobody had wanted two kittens and all the other siblings were gone. Sooo..we filled out the paperwork and waited for approval. They came home with us the day before the wedding and have made the house full of laughing babies again!! They just reached their first birthday this month:)
Eliot and Emily at about 12 weeks of age...
