Peanut and Butter were my buddies for 16 years.  We have been through a lot together

They were the runts of the litter when I got them, they were free at an appliance store and sitting in an empty refrigerator box!  They were identical in color, one boy and one girl.

I was told to only get one, but the look on their faces made me melt and the two came home with me that night.

There names always brought a smile to others faces, especially at the vet when they called for "Peanut and Butter." 

The two were inseparable, cleaning each other, cuddling, and sleeping on the bed.

When my kids came along five years later they were a little leery...considering they were the king and queen of the house.  It took time for the cats to adjust, and after a few hisses and swats of a paw they became friends with the kids.  But, of course always letting them know who was boss!

Peanut loved the outside, sometimes gone for days, returning a little dirty, a little worn out, and looking like he had a secret.  He would take a good long nap after returning.

Butter, on the other hand was more reserved, did NOT want to go outside ever.  She was more content staying inside, hiding under the bed and coming out at night to get into mischief. 

As they grew old , they grew slower, but still had a spark in their eye.  They grew sick and were put down together.  They were born together and passed away together.  In my heart forever...

Love, Mommy, Alex, Alyssa
