Tiger and Boba
We're thankful they have each other, and that we have them!
"These little sisters have quite different personalities, but are the best of friends. Tiger is a bit shy and can be very cautious, but she is growing in confidence each day - especially with Boba by her side. She is so playful and loves chasing anything, including her own tail! Boba is the chummy one, and always seems to be talking to us. She meows and chirps and whines, whether she may be playing, snoozing, observing, or prowling around the house. Where Tiger is introverted, Boba is extroverted. Where Tiger is calm, Boba is restless. Where Tiger is cautious, Boba is clumsy. They found a way into our hearts before we knew it, and we love them so much. We're thankful they have each other, and that we have them!"
