Grayce VS Rupert

Kitties!


Rupert here.

So yesterday we had a lot of comments asking how Mommy and Daddy can tell us apart.
The short answer is that sometimes they can't!
But we are different.


I'm on the left.  I have almost an Oriental build, I'm very long and lean with a wedge-shaped head, whereas Grayce is much smaller with a round face.  I have grey-on-grey striping and Grayce does not.


Grayce's coat is matte, mine is shiny.  Her fur is plush, and mine lays close to my hide.
We both have mauve paw pads, and we both are big talkers.
My favorite toy is a milk jug ring, and Grayce loves her pink sparkle ball.


I have big radar dish ears.


Grayce's ears are short and rounded. 
 See how small her muzzle is?  That helps her give an super-efficient bitey.  And if there's one thing Grayce likes to do, it's bite.  Hard.  And often.
Yesterday she had CATNIP on her chin!


Can you tell who is who?
I'm the one on top.


Mommy says Grayce's tail is "stubby", ha ha ha ha!
Mine is long and has stripes.


As do my legs...HEY! 

How did this picture get in here!?!

MOMMY!!!!!!

Happy Sunday!


XX  Rupert (and Grayce, too!)

  1. Oh wow, this was SO great! Our BFF, The Admiral, is going to have a ton of fun with this one. You know how in love she is with you, Rupert. Oh yes, and she's been pining away for days because she's had no headbonks from you lately. Just a heads up; my Sam says sometimes you mancats need a little reminder.
    You and Grayce are super fine looking furs. Sam said Grayce can give him a little nip anytime. HA. He says that, but I'm going to put a short leash on him 'cause he's just getting too out of hand around all these girlcats.
    Ok, our mom is calling us to bed. Gotta go!

  2. You could be so naughty and blame each other for things and really confuse everyone. And if you everyone could have had kittens. ........

  3. That is very helpful for trying to tell you apart in pictures. YOu both are great gray kitties!

  4. Yay, I was able to tell it was Grayce with the catnip yesterday! See, you humans think kitties with the same color fur all look alike, but WE know the difference!

  5. The Human says Grayce is like her wonderful Kitty Who Came Before named Mr. Teeth. He was lots bigger and fatter (hey--that's not nice!) but he had the same very soft and plush, matte-finish furz and such a sweet little round face!

  6. Mommy still had to stare to tell which was which. But she did purrty much catch on and got it in da end.

  7. Now we figured it out too! Thanks for pointing out your differences Rupert! Our Mommy and Daddy had a very talkative grey kitty who came before us named Reebok. She looked a lot like you Rupert so Mommy will remember which one of you two is you!

  9. Yep--I can see differences. Sometimes people don't even see differences between Ichiro and I--as IF!

  10. The differences are subtle & beautiful!

  11. LOOKIN' GOOD!!! (I am partial to the color gray...)I thinks I should visit the Lounge someday and make it even more confusing! I likes the part about "big radar dish ears", theese one is a good one!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Great to see your comparisons!!! I always get you two mixed up in your photos! Thanks for this, I have some items of difference to look for!

    ReplyDelete
  13. So, when we wanna tell ya apart, we throw a toy, right? Or measure yer tails. MOL!

    Its like having identicacal Meezers. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Seeing you side by side, I can tell the difference. When you're apart... not so much.

  16. You two are both so beautiful. Simba has a girlfriend called Cassie who is the same colour as you two. Mummy says to tell your mummy that she got her blingy mousey from a shop called Next. She has a new one ready to use cause I sort of nibbled the wire a bit. This one is a big blingy strawberry! xx

  18. Rupert, you are one fine specimen of man cat. I got to see those stripes close up and curled around me when you came over with your stethoscope, MOL. Woo Woo ding dong ding!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey, I love to give the Bitey, too and I got a small muzzle. There definitely must be a correlation there!

    ReplyDelete
  20. LOL! We love this post and especially Rupert's face in the first picture!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Those are all great pictures! Yep, you are different, but you are both very beautiful!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Such beautiful kitty faces. I love reading about contented cats. And it is so clear that yours are. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. When you point out your differences we can see them but then we get muddled up and can't remember whose tail is longer who's got the biggest ears!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. MOL! Sometimes the beans have trouble telling Thomas and Charlie apart. That's why we have different colour collars on, for quick identification

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh that was cool learning the differences between you! All of us are very different, although sometimes in photos people can confuse me and Nigel. In furperson, Nigel is twice my size and mom says his face is beefier, whatever that means!

  26. Ooops! I thought that was Rupert with the catnip on his chin yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Love the super close up... And now I'll never mix you and grayce up ever again.

    ReplyDelete
  28. We see the difference now!!! I will look for your stripy tail Rupert as an identifying feature from now on :-) I hope little Jimmy grows up into a beautiful big gray just like both of you!

    ReplyDelete
  29. It's really easy when you explain it, but at first glance we can see how it would be hard.

    ReplyDelete
  30. We often get asked how we tell Ellie and Allie and Angel Sniffie apart. Mom says that it's easy but most other people can't tell until we show them our "distinguishing" marks. Thanks for showing us yours.

  32. What a wonderful post about you, Rupert, and your sister Grayce. We love all the pictures.

    Happy Sunday and much love from us.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks for sharing that info - I was curious about that too. Looks like you two are more different than I thought!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love Grayce, but like a sizter. My mama sayz we look like twins right down to the short tail and snout. Mama sayz my tail is only 9 inchz long. I think that's just perfect cuz I'm short. Mama sayz my biologcl mom was a tiny sighmez and that's y I look like me. I bet Grayce is part sighmez like me.

    Love Kiefer

    PS: My brofur Andy looks like Rupert. My mom doesn't ever get us mixed up except when she yells the wrong name when we are being nawty.

  35. We LOVE that first picture of you, Rupert!

    GO BEARS!!!

  36. hey thanks for the info on how to tell you two apart. While I will remember I don't know if Pellie will - she's old you know and has something called part timers disease.

  38. Cool! Thank you for showing us! It is always interesting to notice the differences when one is so like another. Mom used to work with a set of twin in her classroom. First off she noticed one of them had a mole on his face and the other didn't.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think I can tell you apart--my human Tommy on the other hand, had to re-arrange her reading glasses!! Nice lookin' kitties all around.

  40. We can see the differences now. We didn't know you had rings on your tail.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thank you for that lesson! We're glad others had the same question. We figured you probably both had different personalities and that your furs probably felt different, too, but we really didn't see much of a different in your photos! However, with that tutorial, now we have guidelines to follow. Great job!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. All you kitties are so beautiful ~ I would love to sit right in the middle of your cat room and watch and play with you all! Isn't it amazing how all kitties have different personalities ~ that's what make you all so special! :)

    Lovely Sunday evening to you all!

  43. Well, thank you for clearing that up, Rupert. Now that you point out the differences between you and Grayce, we can tell you apart...but don't test us!!

    And, y'know what?? We can see up your nose in that first picture! Heehee!!
