Cookie and Marshmallow are three-year-old cat siblings who live in New Jersey. According to their owner, "They’re both part of a breed called Ragdoll cats, named for the fact that they go limp when you pick them up, which coincidentally is wonderful when you want to kidnap them and cuddle with them! Cookie loves playing with hair ties and marshmallow has a small heart shaped stuffed animal that is his favorite to both play with and flop down for a nap on."

When it comes to weather, the owner of these two says, "We live in New Jersey, so we usually get a decent amount of rain during the week—-it usually rains about once a week—-or more if it’s spring. Every time there is a crack of thunder to be heard, both Cookie and I run to the door to watch the incoming storm. I am a weather lover and Cookie is too, so we’re a great duo, I pull up two chairs and we sit and watch the storm play out. Marshmallow prefers to watch the rain, but if there is any thunder, he goes and sits on his favorite spot on the couch near my mom for emotional support."

"They are both indoor cats, but when it’s nice and warm with a little breeze—-namely in the spring—-we take them outside and let them walk around the patio and explore. Marshmallow prefers to stay inside, he always seems immensely traumatized when we bring him back inside, while Cookie has his eyes wide and ready to explore. Marshmallow is a kind, cuddly, food-loving, gentle cat, while Cookie is more of a rambunctious, also cuddly, sleep-loving cat with a temper. To show that he love you, he often nibbles your hand. Or face. Or leg. Cookie just likes nibbling humans. Marshmallow prefers to take a stroll on top of your body, obviously stepping on all of your important organs while he does that."
