VIA reader Jen Ho submitted her two awesome kitties Grr & Bonita! Everybody say "hey!"

Nicknames: Kitty, Kitten, Grrface, Grrpinder Sandhu.

Bonita Applebaum, Bon Bon, B’dingus, B’ding-a-ling, Bonita Bunnyface.

Jerk # 1 & Jerk # 2.

Breed/Colouring: Grr is a domestic short hair tabby with brown elbow patches.

Bonita is a 4th generation pure-bred Bengal with pretty spots.

Hood: Mount Pleasant

Habits: Day sleepers, night players. Tap drinking, play fighting, string eating. Bonita constantly meows her face off, and Grr bites (occasionally). Grr lounges in fat-guy mode whenever/wherever she decides to pitch camp, whereas Bonita perches elegantly on shelves. They enjoy playing in empty boxes and bags, and they both try to be each other's Alpha.

Hangouts: Bonita enjoys the window sill, lumping under the blanket, hidden little nooks and your crotch.

Grr likes ottomans, dressers, shoe boxes and laying on any stray items left out of place.

Other info: Grr & Bonita's union started when their people-parents decided to shack up a summer ago. Grr is slightly plump, and Bonita is exceptionally small for a Bengal. Grr is a young lady who gives affectionate head bumps and likes playing with garbage. Bonita is a cuddle monster and likes to pee by the front door. They act like they don’t like each other, but they will get upset if one or the other’s in trouble (i.e. Grr will wait by the door if Bonita’s in time-out). They are cute and soft and fluffy (particularly Grr) and entertaining and the bestest pets in the world!

Name: Grr & Bonita
