Peanut Butter (yellow) and Boomer (black/white) are brothers from different litters, with Boomer being the older brother. They enjoy living at Flat Lands. While they can trip the automatic door to get outside, they have yet to figure out how to get back in. Don't worry if a meowing yellow cat charges inside as the front door is opened, he lives here. Their hobbies are outdoor bug and rodent hunting, and sneaking out the door at 4:45pm so they can negotiate a snack to come back indoors for the evening. They also enjoy being inside where it's safe and sometimes climb to the highest shelves to curl up for a nap underneath the warm lights or snuggle together on the pillow in their bed.
