• Susie
  • when she lies across the sun-drenched windowsill and falls asleep, occasionally stretching her paws
  • her silent meows - and her loud, drawn out ones
  • when her lip rolls up (where she's missing a tooth) and makes her look like a pirate / thug
  • when she sleeps on my chest
  • when she stands on her back legs and stretches her front legs up and leans into me so I can stroke her
• Duchess
  • how excited she is when I walk into the room (but I don't like how sad she is when I leave)
  • when she barks if you stop fussing her and she's not done being fussed
  • when she rolls onto her back for a belly rub and smiles with her little teeth peaking out
  • how much she loves cups of tea (sometimes I make her a small cup of tea and put it in her bowl, or I let her finish mine)
  • when she lays down or sits by my feet
• together
  • they sneak upstairs in the morning to wake me up
  • they sleep in the same bed together at night
  • they get jealous if one of them is getting attention and the other isn't
  • neither of them have any boundaries with me
  • they both love guests, though Dutch loves them a little more
