    I never thought I'd have a cat-- at least not at this stage in my life. I'm from a dog family (we have 3) and my mother and brother are

    and Moon (mostly white face marking) since they are like little lights in my life.

    Their origin story pretty much goes: While at a park a bunch of teenagers stumbled across a trio of kittens. They waited around for

    why they didn't think to go to a rescue but considering the outcome I'm not complaining!) They called my brother up, who

    until they were about 5 minutes from the house, so I was suddenly sent to meet a bunch of his friends and take kittens from them.

    With no clue what we were doing, I ended up calling one of my best friends who has many cats. She helped us get stuff arranged for

    either tolerate (Moon) or adore (Sun) the dogs, Sun even looking up to my dog Poppy as a sort of mother figure, much to her begrudging acceptance. They

    were eventually allowed to leave my room as the cat allergies lessened, and now they roam freely and do all sorts of stupid stuff. My entire camera roll is

    littered with videos of them being cute and dumb. Sun acts like a dog and Moon acts like a bizarre alien creature in the most endearing way possible. The
  • 26
    concept of two separate food bowls is more a suggestion than anything. I'm pretty sure they are a bonded pair. They both sleep

    with me at night. The two of them and Poppy keep me waking in the morning when it feels like nothing else can.
