It is impossible not to get lost in the eyes of sister cats Xafi and Auri. The two Russian blue cats have bright green eyes that contrast with their silver fur. The peculiar combination makes this pair steal the camera, but their elegance does not mean that they are not silly at times. This bonded pair regularly sticks their tongues out for the camera or even points at each other.
Xafi and Auri are sisters by blood, but they are different ages. Xafi was born in the spring of 2016 and Auri a few months later in the fall. When they were younger it was easier to tell them apart, but since they grew up it has become more complicated — especially for fans of their Instagram account. Her humans, Anneken and Tim, have a way of knowing who is who. “Auri has a rounder face, broader ears, and darker fur,” write her owners. “Xafi has a more angular face with higher ears.”
In addition to their physical differences, Anneken and Tim say that each kitten has a unique personality. For example, Xafi loves to snuggle in the laps of her humans while they work or watch TV. Auri, on the other hand, has earned the nickname “klepto-cat” because he likes to steal things and run away with them, as well as destroy toilet paper and “attack blankets and cat beds.”
