Melody and Banjo
Who are Melody and Banjo?
Melody and Banjo are my two adorable kittens. I have mentioned them during some of my episodes. But, here is some info that I didn’t explain in my podcast:

“What greater gift than the love of a cat”
Melody is a female part-Siamese kitten who is almost 2 years old. She loves to play with bouncy balls and sometimes slices the balls in half. She was found in a cardboard box in a parking lot with her brother. His name was Boone. The Cat Cafe in San Jose, California found them, and put them up for adoption, so I was going to adopt them. But, then Boone died of illness, and Melody was left alone. I love Melody with all my heart. I think she is very brave because she lost her brother and still is very playful and energetic, but that might be because of Banjo…
Now, Banjo is a male mixed breed cat who I like to classify as “tuxedo cat”. He has a crazy and playful side. But, usually he is shy. He would run away from people even if they were 4 feet away from him. Maybe because when the Cat Cafe found him, he was in a trash can, so he might have been scared of people since getting thrown in a trash can. But, Banjo is less shy now. He still runs away, but now he cuddles with me and my brother and even curls up on my favorite window spot sometimes! Here is a picture of Banjo:

Melody and Banjo might each have their own stories, but they love to cuddle together and spend some catnaps with each other. Here are some pictures:
