Meet the Boys

Manny and Minky are brothers that we adopted when they were about 12 to 14 weeks old. I now believe the saying, "dogs have owners, cats have servants" after living with them for the past three years. They are extremely close and will cuddle and clean each other when they think nobody is watching.

MANNY
Manny is a big territorial boy cat, but he is also a scaredy cat. He was a really cute kitten and now he is kind of a fluffy mess, but he is getting better at taking care of his coat. He is “my boy” and can do no wrong in my eyes.

Nicknames: Manny Bear, Manners, Bear, Piglet

Likes: kibble, playing, watching leaves fall, chasing bugs (even if they are on the other side of the window), chasing his brother, rolling around on the garage floor

Dislikes: loud noises, strangers, anything associated with the kitchen, closed doors, hot days, being ignored

MINKY
Minky is quite soft and is an excellent hunter. He was awkward looking as a kitten, but has matured into a fine looking cat and can be chatty at times. It took a while for him to trust us, but he likes us now…or he realized this was as good as it was going to get.

Nicknames: Minky Moo, Minx, Moo

Likes: going outside, sitting in sunny spots, playing, meat (especially shrimp, tuna and beef jerky), hunting (real, fake and imaginary mice), cat nip

Dislikes: being an indoor cat, the door bell, winter, cloudy days, not getting his way

I hate loud noises and the doorbell, too!
