"My Boys"
We were lucky enough to have two white male cats, twins, adopted from an animal shelter. I had a Siamese cat years ago so the meaning of them is twofold. My boys were talkative, just like a Siamese cat is. Beautiful, with a lovely shellac. Precious and such treasures to rest your eyes upon. .
