Evin and Minnie have been inseparable since the day they met.

"My boyfriend (Jesse) is a dairy farmer. Evin was the sweetest barn cat and Jesse fell in love with him. He brought him home for me for Christmas '14. " Jessica Ryan told Love Meow.
"And then we found Minnie's litter and couldn't resist him since he was a mini version of Evin! Since then we've worked diligently to catch the barn cats and get them each fixed. So there's no more litters."
After Minnie moved into his new home, Evin took to him immediately. Minnie became his most loyal friend, and wouldn't go anywhere without him.

The ginger boy followed his lookalike big buddy around everywhere he went. Evin washed and groomed him and gave him all the love and snuggles.
Minnie doesn't understand when Evin wants some privacy once in a while.

"Evin is super laid back and lovey. Minnie is wild, always jacked up running around the house like a maniac.
"We have to play with him hard before bed! They love to wrestle."

When there's an open suitcase, hop in and stare at the humans as if to say "take me with you."
