Family Traits

Most people comment on how little Max and Sarah resemble one another. Max is gangly with delicate features. Sarah is, well, rotund. Max is pale with dark eyes and Sarah has blue eyes and more color in her complexion.

However, these two children definitely share phsyical and personality traits with their brothers...their feline brothers, that is.

Exhibit One: Max and Frank

Max and Frank are both loud, sometimes even whiney. Frank yips and talks all day long, just like the Max. The pitter-patter of steps during the night may signal the arrival of a boy....or a brown cat. Frank likes to snuggle under the covers with Mommy and Daddy. Max likes to snuggle anywhere with Mommy and Daddy. Frank and Max can be sneaky at times, but manage to charm their way out of trouble.

You never know where you will find one of them hiding:

Under a chair

or behind the blinds!

Both are irresistably cute, need to be noticed, and endlessly entertaining.

Exhibit Two: Sarah and Bean Cat

Bean is Sarah's true twin. Bean is also, well, rotund. His head forms a perfect circle, as does Sarah's. Both are solid and heavier than they appear. Bean loves to watch Frank play and squirms spastically if picked up. Sarah happily watches Max and will squirm out of your arms to prevent from being restrained. Most interestingly, Sarah and Bean love water. Bean will dip his paw into any body of water (dish, shower, toilet) and then lick his paw. Sarah also dips her hand into water (glass, water table, tub, but thankfully not the toilet) and then stick it in her mouth. Did she learn this from him?

Amazing sibling similarities!
