Sisters Saffi & Coco posing for #caturday - very unlikely litter mates, one long hair, one short hair. One zoomie extrovert, the other shy, timid and low activity.
Two calico cats are resting together on a brown leather chair. One cat is lying down, while the other is sitting up. The setting appears cozy with wooden flooring in the background.
