Oh em gee, I just have to tell you about Becky Harblmeyer! She is like my total BFF for life, I swear! You ever have that one friend who, like, just gets you, y’know? Who you can tell all your secrets to and she tells you hers and you have sleepovers and paint each others nails and talk about boys and stuff? That’s Becks! She’s so cool!
Mike, you have managed to perfectly channel a 14-year-old girl!
How do we know he’s not one. 😮
Nah, he is the most handsome 30 year-old guy I have ever imagined! It would be such a disappointment if he indeed turned out to be a 14 year-old girl with the sense of humour he has 🙂
Great picture, great story. I wonder which cat is Becky.
I don’t know why, but I think Becky’s the white one.
Me too.
She looks more of a party animal 🙂 Perfect pal to a decent tabby!
Yes, for the other one I’m thinking Amelia.
For me the name Becky goes with either Carrie or Colleen.
Colleen is my best friend of 40 years and her sister is Becky.
Becky & Carrie are friends from college and were roommates for three years so they were kind of a set. (I still list my college friends in roommate pairs.)
Omg, Mike nailed it again! ?
Boop! Boop!
Behold, my new desktop background.
Is it just me or does the white kitty have different colored eyes?
Yup, she’s got one blue and one copper. Not unusual for whites. Sometimes the blue side is even deaf. That’s one of the genetic things that can happen to blue-eyed whites.
Just the blue side? That’s cool, I didn’t realize the genes were so closely connected.
Hilarious, Mike! And I agree with everybody else–though you *sound* like a 14-year-old girl, it seems unlikely that you are one.
I have seen pictures (yes I know that doesn’t mean anything) of Mike and he is unfortunately, so not a 14 yr old girl or otherwise.
But OMG, he totally gets me and Becks. He ROCKS!!!!!!
Loving the goofball kitties, such a rare way to see them. And I can’t believe no one mentioned their derpy tongues hanging out. Usually they’re too above it all to be like this and if they are … good luck getting them on camera, it would be such an affront to their dignity, lol.
I agree that the white one is Becky, the other must have a somewhat sensible name like Jane or Emily or Susan. They kinda remind me of my and my bestie of about 40 years. She’s the Laverne to my Shirley. When we were younger, she always came up with the “good” ideas that looking back, wellll maybe weren’t that good. Now, we’ve rubbed off on each other and she’s mellowed while I’ve become a little less Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
Yes, sweet tabby looks like a nice Susan to me. I bet Becky brought the catnip to the sleepover 🙂
Nothing unfortunate about not being a 14-year-old girl. Would never want to relive that!
Exactly.
I’ve seen a picture of handsome Mike and he is definitely NOT a teen girl – but I firmly believe that Mike has, or has had, a 14-year-old girl in his household. 🙂
Agreed that Becky is the white one, and the lolling tongue raises concerns that she is starting too early to sample Dad’s bottle of gin.
Why would both their tongues be sticking out like that?
Are they coming down from anesthesia?
It’s funny and cute, and Mike did channel perfectly is inner tween, but…I can’t unreservedly love it.
I think that at any given moment a cat’s tongue does lots of things the eye misses but I did fear that those tongues were in danger of being bitten!
Found on Reddit. No explanation, but someone suggested the teeth look nice and white so maybe they had anesthesia for cleaning?
Reminds me of my tortie and torbie girls when they were babies– they would eat out of the food dish at the same time, drink out of the water dish simultaneously, curl up in a mottled little ball of fur on the bed, and climb into the litterbox together for synchronized elimination. For some reason, my husband didn’t find the latter adorable.
Synchronized elimination, snort laugh. When I dog sat my friend’s two cocker spaniels, they tended to do that too. What made it oh so much fun, was they would do it while out on their walks – one on the far left and the other on the far right. Such a joy trying to clean up, and juggle leashes at the same time.
