I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the personality differences between Moo and Tu lately. I’ve noticed that they’re nearly polar opposites. I though I’d point out some of my observations:
- Tulip is very athletic. Moo is a bull in a china shop.
- Tulip is like an impatient little kid. Moo has enough patience for both of them.
- Tulip is mostly tough. Moo is mostly sweet.
- Tulip always looks like she’s smiling, but she’s usually cranky. Moo always looks like she’s frowning, but she’s usually happy.
- Tulip wants something to eat ALL the time. Moo could take it or leave it outside of actual meal time (not that you could tell by her figure).
- Tulip likes to play “chase”. Moo has no idea what “chase” is.
- Tulip is ready to go when the alarm clock goes off. Moo likes to sleep in.
- Tulip likes to nap in one of her many kitty beds. Moo likes to nap on top of the kitty bowling toy.
- Tulip’s idea of hanging out with us is lying on the rug at our feet. Moo’s idea of hanging out with us is lying on our laps or on the back of the couch by our heads.
- Tulip scratches on her scratching post. Moo scratches on the chair, the wall, the screen door, and anything else she encounters.
- When people come to visit, Tulip hides. When people come to visit, Moo runs over to greet them.
I naively thought they would be much more similar because they’re both blind. I attributed a lot of Tulip’s shyness, etc. with her blindness. I stand corrected. I’m still amazed by observing them and how they interact. They’re so different, but they’re both SO awesome in their own ways. What cool kitties!
