    Hat - SuptabMontante 18 hr. ago . My mother is one of twins. Linus, the cat I had as a child, was a complete worrier, having been tr ed at a young age and being fearful of new people, yet he was the sweetest cat to us. Linus approached my aunt as soon as she arrived and cuddled

    Font - up against her leg on that occasion. He was being scratched by her, and everything was going well until he noticed my mother. Start with very fast head turns back and forth, then race up the stairs and hide for hours! Poor infant! 6.7k Reply Share

    Font - Glowie2k2 19 hr. ago So not a twin, but a daughter of one. We had a dog called Gromit, who started with my aunt and then moved in with us incl her twin sister/my mum. He did get confused at first when he'd see my mum and auntie in the same room and one of them called him, but the confusion did only last for a couple of seconds. Then he would just get excited

    Font - about cuddles & walkies lol. My mum also had a cat called Mitzi. She's a very shy cat and would hide from visitors. When my aunt went round, Mitzi hid but once my mum left the room she came out and cuddled my aunt as if she was my mum. After that she bonded with both of them.

    Font - Mitzi now lives with my aunt ever since my mum passed away, she's managing well but does sometimes seem to wonder why there's only one of them at times. ↑ 2.5k ↓ Reply Share

    Font - Cheshire1234 · 20 hr. ago My cat and my quails know my voice. They don't really care about my face. Also, I have very long hair and my sister has short hair.

    Font - MasterfulNothasie · 18 hr. ago This time, it's a twin. My dog adores me, but he HATES my sister, which is strange. For instance, he growls at her when she approaches and hardly lets her touch him. He isn't like this to the rest of my family or friends, so I don't know why. Perhaps he believes she is a fraud? We have no idea, lol!

    Font - CalydorEstalon · 19 hr. ago Not quite what you asked, but it reminded me of a funny anecdote I'm sure people will appreciate regardless. We had three dogs; two lab mixes and a samoyed mix, so two blacks and one white. Easy to recognize.

    Font - Then one day we had to look after a friend's lab because she had to go to a job interview or something, I can't remember why. But this meant there were now three black dogs and one white. They all ran through the house past the sofa table where the cat was lounging. He didn't care about the first lab mix he knew. He didn't care about the samoyed mix. He didn't care about the new lab.

    Font - He freaked out when the elderly lab mix he'd known for over ten years walked past him because that was one black dog too many. 3.0k Reply Share

    Font - atlanticverve 17 hr. ago My wife is an identical twin. Our dog is very protective of the house and slow to trust new people, usually when we have guests, they are subjected to a barrage of barking and he won't tolerate them petting him for days.

    Font - When my sister in law came for the first time my wife was not in then room and our dog was immediately super excited to meet her. Master returns level excited and very affectionate.

    Font - He has never reacted like that with anyone else before. At first I thought that he mistook her for my wife but he was much quicker than average to accept our parents as well so I think it's a familial smell? 4340 Reply Share
