We've caught up with Baker and introduced the snakes, so that leaves us with only 6 more pets to talk about haha! Next up are the pair who are collectively known as 'The Girls', Aurora and Eos. If you'd asked me 2 years ago whether I was a cat person or a dog person I would have obviously said 100%, dog person. I've always loved cats too of course and after having these ladies in my life for the short time I have I have to say I'm a 50/50 person! Look at these faces and tell me how you couldn't be.
A little bio and some quick facts about Aurora
Breed: (Assumed) Aegean Cross
Gender: Female
Age: 5
Birthday: 31st January
Temperament: Quiet, reserved, very food motivated.
Loves
Strings/ribbons
Sweeties
Sleeping under the duvet at night
Bird watching
Hates
Dusters
The noise when sellotape is pulled off the roll
Closed doors
Aurora is the epitome of the smallest sibling - butter wouldn't melt! She is usually the one being naughty but somehow manages to make it so Eos is blamed. Her worst habit is definitely clawing at the side of the sofa and using the wallpapered walls to stretch on. If you didn't know any different you'd think Aurora was a kitten because she is so small built and has a higher register voice...not that she uses that much (unless food or treats are involved). Despite being sisters, it isn't just their looks that separate them either...they have very different personalities! Aurora was usually the reserved, happy-with-her-own-company cat though over the past year or so of being in this house she has actually come out of her shell more and I often walk around holding her in my arms like a baby while she purrs.
After she's finished with napping all day and Baker is in bed, she'll come for a visit on the sofa then either settle on the arm of the chair or sit bolt upright directly in front of the TV to remind you to feed her. When food is on the plate that's when she makes her voice heard and not before long shes pushing her way under the duvet (making you build her a tent by putting your knees up) to settle down for the night.

A little bio and some quick facts about Eos
Breed: (Assumed) Aegean Cross
Gender: Female
Age: 5
Birthday: 31st January (Yes, they are sisters from a litter of 3)
Temperament: Loving, talkative and sporadically energetic
Loves
Boxes
Laying on my chest in bed
Catnip toys
Sitting on things that make a noise like bags and paper
Hates
Being held like a baby
Smells of certain things
Bin men/window cleaners etc
Eos is what you'd call the 'goofball'. She does the most random, silly, funny things. From sitting in weird places like the fruit bowl and laying like superman to getting the zoomies, climbing on top of the doors and sitting at the window growling at the post person or bin men. Eos on a whole is the shy, lazy girl who prefers her own company unless it's on her terms. She isn't as happy to be picked up and cuddled but more so comes to you for the odd fussing throughout the day and for huge cuddles in the evening when we are reading in bed.
Eos may disappear for most of the day just chilling in the bedroom, but when she is around you can't half hear her! She is a proper little chatterbox and you can have a full-on conversation with her if you know how to interpret what she's saying. Their personalities really do seem to have switched slightly and despite being the bigger, crazier girl she will let her little sissy check out things first...especially when it comes to saying hello to visitors in the house.
This is our bigger girl with lots of fluffy hair that she gets all over the place, luckily she enjoys being groomed. The most important thing about Eos is her love for boxes though and she has predominantly been the one who has enjoyed the cardboard castle we broke our backs making!

I didn't realize exactly how difficult it would be to sit down and try to describe our cats in words. It's not that easy because they seriously have such intricate little natures, that change often, probably more so than Baker, and it really should reiterate to people who do not believe animals to be sentient beings how much they do think, feel etc.
Life would certainly be much different if Mr H hadn't had these girls and they weren't a part of our big blended family.
