HOLLY
IVY
Mommy already had our doggie brother, Loki, when she started thinking about how she missed having a kitty in her lap. Soon after she decided that she wanted to get a kitty for herself for Christmas, she heard that her cousin was fostering a litter of kittens that had been found dumped on the side of the road. Mommy visited her cousin to see the kittens: two tortie girls (us!) and one boy. Mommy had already pretty much decided that she would take the boy to be Loki's new friend before she got there, but then she saw how close the torties were to one another, and her cousin told her the girls did everything together but that the boy was a loner. Her cousin said she didn't want the girls to be separated, but she was afraid that they would be adopted out separately. Mommy knew all about the tortie 'tude, and wasn't sure how her house or Loki would stand up to the challenge, but she couldn't stand the thought that the girls would be separated either. So mommy adopted us both right before Christmas, and our grandmama named us "Holly and Ivy." As soon as we arrived, we made ourselves right at home, and Loki loved us right away. In our former foster home, we had a tough time. We were starved and scrawny little things, but still had plenty of that tortie 'tude! We had even fought a pig for table scraps at the foster's place, so we knew how to get what we wanted. We still do.Holly is more of an independent tortie, but she adores mommy and will come up to her and pat her face and ask for love. Holly will also open any door that doesn't have a tricky knob. Her polydactyl "thumbs" come in handy when we want to get into some mischief! Ivy loves to be loved and can be a bit of a pest when she demands affection, and her favorite hobbies are flinging poo out of the litter box and helping Holly open doors. We weren't sure we wanted a baby brother when Tybalt first arrived, but we soon got used to him and taught him how to be naughty. Holly has even taught him how to open cabinet doors! We Terrible Tortie Twins love our home, our mommy, our doggie siblings, and our brother Tybalt . . . but most of all we both love TROUBLE!
