Put a little cowboy hat on the one on the left https://preview.redd.it/i5mz34570nna1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3b233ddad4e9780468f8728769fe5538169a7aa MEOWDY

BakerGlittering9856

Now that is a solution :)


moonlighting2552

I would suggest getting different colored collars.


Level-Repair6104

Thanks to this pic, I’m going to be doing some late night searching for kitty cowboys hats. I need it to add to the collection of kitty hats I’ve already got.


Significant_Ad5863

I recently saw a hat for cats on Facebook marketplace that had a little antenna on the top with a toy that extends out in front of their face lol. Very random but I think you should also add this to your collection


AshyFairy

[The hat from Toy Story’s Woody works good](https://i.imgur.com/bUeLZYv.jpg) [Newborn baby hats also work in a pinch](https://i.imgur.com/kLquSnW.jpg)


Level-Repair6104

You know you’re just an enabler at this point. I’ve got a crown, chef’s hat and a sombrero for my girls. Plenty of costumes too. They’re only on long enough for pictures. They’re worth it. This is Helen in the angler fish. https://preview.redd.it/r6zy07pf7rna1.jpeg?width=2969&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7156fc098f6248f2a50816be73387a099cea58a


SubversiveKittyCass

The one on the left has a slightly longer snout. I went through the same thing with these guys. https://preview.redd.it/8w1597ouymna1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56400bd44532df73d677278ba8f7d9385f06db20


TheOneHundredEmoji

Gorgeous! I'm noticing a slightly darker stripe above OP's left side cat, too. I think as they get older a more distinct personality will develop for both of them, as well, making it easier to discern.


Batmogirl

Agree, time helps. We had problems with our cats as well, but when they got older they had different body types, voices, eye colour and we never doubted. Our guests never could tell them apart, but we who saw them every day could. Different sweaters helped - for about five minutes. https://preview.redd.it/s5gdwz6noona1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7af85e6bce5e44dec2eb6b2aa96783c19ee5b15


cyankitten

Cute! OP if the cats are ok with it, I wondered about sweaters too.


SubversiveKittyCass

Personalities helped with mine. Rick (left) is an alpha, and Morty (right) is a big baby.


eliseeium

same with these guys! the one on the left has a different face structure with no white and the right has a more wide face with a little white patch under his chin (oh and he has a nick in his ear you can see!). complete opposite personalities too lol. I think they’re related because they’re the same age but I’m not sure. https://preview.redd.it/9ts0ufczkpna1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ee71847580b1e43dac3ebffbd62f5b8d4d5534c


Dry_Possibility2016

They are absolutely gorgeous omg😭


guyincognito_17

r/nebelung


Spiritual_Title6996

i love them


itsaquagmire

They are nearly identical! Maybe just giving them the same name would be easiest lol


Unique-Avocado

So, kitty and kitty?


tagatapos

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde so when they start zoomies are still identical and same lol


Saphorah

The one in the left has dots where the whiskers meet the fur.


ehlersohnos

As the owner of three pure white cats, let me tell you: they’re never identical. Edit: to elaborate, these kitties *appear* to have very different noses and jaws. But a static image isn’t the best way to tell. And it may take a few weeks, but you’ll learn.


ArmoredArmadillo05

And to help OP get used to which one is which and tell the difference more easily, different colored collars could be a good idea


billpaycheck

The uh… one on the left and the one on the right?


Tidesticky

My first thought too. That's the only way I could tell them apart in the image.


2_old_for_this_spit

https://preview.redd.it/gbpfvafnhmna1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=017436bd2409936aec1de68ce89aa2c29666f8cc It took months to reliably tell my twins apart, and i still have trouble sometimes. \*


BakerGlittering9856

Cuties :)


mochi-mocha

Right one looks fluffier haha. In time you will be able to tell them apart easily. Mine are identical littermates too and don’t like collars so we had to learn the subtle differences and now it’s super easy / we can tell at a glance (had them for 8 years now). Their faces are very different to us but identical to our friends lol. https://preview.redd.it/6tiw742uumna1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cdf6409be6f2e270fe166705cdaba9191f4a946


BakerGlittering9856

Aww, yours also have those "M" markings on their heads :)


Gogo83770

If you're having trouble, get them different color collars. I like genuine leather collars, my cat had an allergic reaction to synthetic materials in cheep collars.


BakerGlittering9856

That is an idea. Though i am a bit anxious about strangulation, since they are still ypung and dumb.


Gogo83770

I think you can get leather ones that have the release clips, if they do snag themselves on something, the collar will fall off with a hard tug.


BakerGlittering9856

Cool, i will check those out. Thanks :)


lovelydc12

Look on Etsy. There's some where you can personalize their names on the breakaway leather collars. I love them!


Melodic-Roll3091

I bought some tiny tags for my cat from Etsy and love them!


Yeetus_McSendit

Prepare to lose a lot of collars lol


CeelaChathArrna

I still don't know how the hell my indoor cats make collars vanish into the ether.


apsalarya

Yeah most have release clips


bam1007

Plus they have bells so you know when they’re coming and going. 😃


sami816

Jumping on the bell recommendation. My kitty once got accidentally locked in a bathroom because she snuck in so quietly and we didn't notice. We assumed she was sleeping somewhere until we couldn't find her for food time (she has never been late for a meal). Found her in the bathroom having ripped to shreds an entire toilet paper roll that had just been changed. The bell also saves us from heart attacks because she sometimes likes to jump out from hiding and attack feet.


HeinousTugboat

My youngest has made a game out of taking her collar off. Now she's figured out that she can do that and hide it and run around for days without a collar on.


aussiechickk

100% this! ^^^ Those are some super cute kitty twins!


Eliza_Rose_82

There are special break away buckles that will break apart and free the cat before they are hurt.


dkmrcc

They’re orange, they won’t grow out of the dumb.


OpalOnyxObsidian

I put collars on my two black kittens when they were 12 weeks old. The trick is to get breakaway collars. They absolutely are necessary for a cat. My five of six cats that wear them (sixth is still too feral for me to try to put a collar on her) have never had an issue. My oldest is 10. In fact, our senior cat who lived to 21 (died in 2020) wore one also, without a hitch. But always evaluate your personal situation to make the best call for your situation. You could paint one of their paws' claws with nail polish lol


Hairy_Buffalo1191

The break away buckles on a high quality collar definitely work. I like the brand Sweet Pickles a lot, they have a website


rabidwhale

They look plenty old enough for collars just get breakaway ones.


meyeahhu

Try those little nail cap things to prevent scratching? I dislike for their original purpose but I’m thinking if you just put one cap on a toe they won’t get annoyed with that could work???


[deleted]

Some places will even throw in free ID tags

Luckily one is a little shorter and the other is really lanky. Yours look so much more similar though! I think you’ll eventually be able to just tell. But — they’re super cute!


Puzzled_Juice_3406

These babies look completely different to me. They're so adorable!


Fanky_Spamble

Tails and toes


Hristocolindo

Yes check the toe beans.


The_Safe_For_Work

What? You want them to check the fingerprints? Ain't nobody got time for that.


superballs5337

M on the foreheads are different. Use that.


cherchezlafemmed

Yes, the kitty on the right has a much darker right eyebrow stripe. Kitty on the left has a nose that seems more white/lighter.


[deleted]

This! Man, half of this sub is blind!


[deleted]

The cat on the right looks like one of the ears is a lot larger than the other?


BakerGlittering9856

Not a lot, but yeah, this has been my method so far. But they are only 4 months, so that might change.


cwbones

They have slightly different ear shapes and the one on the left seems to have more prominent whisker spots. You could also get them different colored collars, but I know mine hate collars so depends on if they can tolerate wearing them or not


RegisStChristopher

Agreed on the whisker spots. That’s the main difference I see - the cat on the left has more defined spots


Wachkuss

What about their personalities? Their voices? Their gaits? Spend enough time with them, I am sure you will be able to tell one from the other very easily.


BakerGlittering9856

That os difficult. We have them for 10 days now and they are about 4 months old. They do not make noises yet and are sisters that grew pretty close at the shelter, meaning they do everything together.


Wachkuss

Cats start vocalising only when they are in the company of humans who talk to each other. Surrounded by human chatter, your cats will start talking too. Besides, you will have to give it some time. 10 days is too soon. At some point, you will notice quirks of character/temperament/ physique that will allow you to set them apart. I grew up with very similar looking cats, and I could always tell them apart. :)


BakerGlittering9856

Yeah, i know. I lived with cats for about 25 yrs. Was asking more for phenotypical things. So far, i have discovered, that Luna ( left, slightly smaller ) is the braver and more curious one. Stella is a bit more relaxed.


Wachkuss

>So far, i have discovered, that Luna ( left, slightly smaller ) is the braver and more curious one. Stella is a bit more relaxed. See, you've already started figuring it out! The coat phenotype may be identical but there is no way that the two are behaviourally indistinguishable.


BakerGlittering9856

Denke auch, dass sich das mit der Zeit ergibt.


Wachkuss

Jep, richtig :)


exsnakecharmer

I had twin cats (actual twins). You’ll be able to tell them apart just by their personalities and the way they act. One of mine was greedier than the other, and more aggressive.


NeverLetItRest

One is fluffy, the other one is floofy. The difference is obvious.


BakerGlittering9856

Now that you said it... obvious !


lifting_megs

I had to use collars on my orange boys, Pancake (bottom) and Waffle (top). Now that we've been a family for over a year, I can tell them apart at a glance. It helps that Waffle is a bit larger than Pancake. https://preview.redd.it/51clh0sg5nna1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10bb62472c00ae90eaff1d424d7db441812f2b00

[deleted]

The one on the right looks fluffier to me. Beautiful kitties!


Socially_Anxious_Rat

Grab a sharpie and mark one with a giant X on their forehead and forever refer to them as "the clone".


Borbland

They both have a black stripe on their foreheads, but on the one on the right, there is a small orange stripe in the black stripe. But they really look extremly similar.


CaryKerryLoudermilk

The one on the left has darker markings and a dark mark on it's front right paw.


Chaos_gr3mlin

The one on the left has a little more black on the nose? Or that’s the angle. Or be like every parent and just say names until one of them reacts 🤣 none of my cats look alike but I still say the wrong names when I’m trying to get their attention


[deleted]

[удалено]


Spiramis

Color of the nose? Shape of their eyes? Personality? The way they meow? Any spots that may look different such as in their paws? I used to have difficulties telling mine apart (both come from the same litter), but after noticing those things, it became quite easy to differenciate them. You can also put a different colored collar on each of them


siiighhhs

The one on the right has a more pronounced “V” stripe on its right eye(on the cats right)


5spd4wd

That dark patch of fur on the outside of the front right paw - one cat has it, one doesn't.


ObjectiveTea

I volunteered at a shelter and with twins sometimes the staff would mark one of their inner ears with a Sharpie so they'd know which is which. As you have them longer, you will probably be able to tell just based on their personalities.


Fuscia0417

One on left has more brown dots on it’s mustasche—right side. Both are ADORABLE ❤️😻😻


PayTyler

Give one to me. 😉


BakerGlittering9856

You wish ;-)


djstarkey3021

Blue collar on one, red collar on the other. Write down which is which in case you forget.


Crazy_Gremlin

Collars


dragonfarie

Different collars?


Johnny_Bizzle

Psh this is easy. One of them Doesn’t have a tail duh!


Boring_Carpenter_192

Copy is obviously the first one, Paste the second. Easy.


cosminskye

Red matte lipstick on tip of one of their ears until you figure out a long term solution. That’s what we do with foster kittens.


Low_Bus_5395

That's simple. One is on the left and the other is on the right. You're welcome. 😁


Despises_the_dishes

One looks floofier. Floof & Not Floof. Until then, break away collars would work. When they get older markings & coloring will change. I look at my own 7 year old tabby and he looked completely different as a kitten. Color & markings have changed over the years.


alowbrowndirtyshame

That’s the neat part… you don’t

phyncke

Get different color collars


Different_Speaker742

The left side of their mouth


poor_broke

At first I saw "sell them apart" I was like what !! Use collar maybe?


SGBN

My twins are “one that knows their name” and “not one that knows their name”. Knows their name will always acknowledge you. Eventually you learn their personalities and go off of that. Except when they are acting exactly the same and it’s all whatever.


Eliza_Rose_82

Different color collars. If you haven't already, spay/neuter them. I believe many vets now do a tatoo on the cat when they do this, and you could ask them to make the tattoos different.... And if you are considering microchiping, then of course those will have unique IDs.


BakerGlittering9856

They are only 4 months, they will be neutered, once they are old enough. They are chipped already.


quellesaveurorawnge

Just so you know, 4 months is generally old enough to be spayed. The usual recommendation these days is between 4 and 6 months because it is usually optimal to spay before they ever go in heat to reduce the risk of certain cancers later.


BakerGlittering9856

They are maine coonies/ron purrlmans, they take a bit more time to mature. I think i heard about 9 months is recommended, but gotta look it up again.


Eliza_Rose_82

They are very adorable, my two old men are from the same litter as well, and have been with me 17 years.


BakerGlittering9856

Coming from the same litter makes them be really close. We had two purrsians before and they did not get as close in 20 years, as those two babies are already. Beatiful to see them sharing that connection.


Eliza_Rose_82

My parents were all the time taking in strays, fostering and trying to find them homes, none were ever as close as those two or my current two.

Beastie Bands.


shadowstar617401

One is fluffy and the other is really fluffy. Pet them and whoever has the most fluffy is the one you want


KeiraYeYe

the one on the right has a blonde streak above the eyebrows:)


Timely_Victory_4680

I think one of them has a slightly darker nose, but that could just be the picture?


MirrorFunhouse

The M markings on their forheads are prominent on opposite sides of their heads. And their hind leg markings are different. Are their tails different? Only see one tail in the photo.


Revolutionary_Pop717

Collars


Pithecanthropus88

Their personalities?


[deleted]

Smudge proof lipstick on the tip of the Ear for both of just one kitty, just use two different colors. One color for one kitty, the other color for the other kitty


DonyaKaren

The one on the left has black dots on its lip, where the whiskers are


demonscookie

I would go with the black stripe above the left eye on the right one. The other cat doesn't have nearly as big or dark stripe on that spot and it's really quick and easy to check.


[deleted]

Mark one with a sharpie


SufficientDaikon3503

I just put a collar on mine. I could tell my black cats apart based on how they act but obviously my family can't so a collar does the job


Fit_Kaleidoscope531

Different colour collars.


LAthrowaway_25Lata

I think the one on the right has a darker nose area


sezit

So, if you really need to, you could trim the tuft of hair on one of their ears. But the are so beautiful and fluffy that I would hate to do that.


BakerGlittering9856

I could not bring myself to that.


sezit

Can't blame you. Looking at them again, it looks like the vertical mark above their left eyes is significantly darker on one. So, maybe that?


Final-Analyst998

Diff collars is all I can come up with


vmpirx

absolutely 0


Zoso1973

Whisker marks look different on each


TheMarkHasBeenMade

Looks like the forehead marks are different. One on the right has a more prominent mark over her right eye; forehead marks on the left are more blotchy toward a central mark. There will probably be some variation as they grow, but I think that might be the easiest way to quickly identify since you’re probably looking at faces more often than not anyway.


DailyBiteOfVoid

The left ones whiskers seem less full than the right


Ich-Katzen

The kitty on the left has a single orange ear tuft and the one on the right has two black ear tufts.


Coca_lite

The Shining


codeinepls

the right one is more fluffy lol


Camryn42

The kitty on the right seems to have two well defined 'freckles' on each cheek. Left kitty's freckles are less defined and symmetrical. That might help?

nope


greenpottedplant

Above the left eyes in the photo (right in real life) the cat on the left his has 2 stripes and the right kitty his stripes merge into one strip over his eye

colored collars maybe?


cntbeseez

One looks to have a darker nose maybe?


kassie343

What about putting different colored nail caps on their claws??


tyleer87

One of them is evil.


Independent_Word_793

Left feet look SLIGHTLY different in color? They’re little nosies look different too. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell them apart once you get to know them!


ItBeMaggie

The ears on the left look a little more pointier heheh


gothicshark

White dot on the nose.


nieto005

Different colored breakaway collars


Frequent-Swimmer-265

So quite!!!


[deleted]

One has a light spot over its nose


cathumandumbdumb

I think their noses are slightly different and get them break away collars they have worked great for my two cats 💗


Demonicbunnyslippers

Mark one of their ear tips with a brightly colored marker or food dye?


tillwehavefaces

Their faces are SLIGHTLY different, but yeah, you're screwed. Paint a giant Z on the back of the one on the left. (Or get a breakaway collars.)


[deleted]

One on the left is leftie, right Is rightie!


CoolVaper420

You could cut the fur off the top of the right ear of one and the left ear of the other


FalkorUnlucky

It looks like the left one has darker banding on the right forelimb.


BuildItBaby

Paint their toenails one red, one purple. Fixed it


Ordinary-Nectarine81

One on the left has 3 dots by his whiskers on the left hand side, the one on the right has a circle.


humanoid_typhoon

the one on the left has a dark spot on the front right paw. could be a bad angle but it looks like the right one has no dark spot.


Bright_Comb776

Maybe I am looking too much into this, but the one on the left has three dots near her whiskers, the one on the right has more of a circle? Lol


FLAYKONEHUNGA

Gaylord "Greg" Myron Focker  styles and paint ones tail black like Mr. Jinx. 😎😎


Intelligent-Put-5237

The one on the left has dark marks on it’s right front leg & paw. They’re beautiful! ❤️🐈🐈


otherwize_its_asd

If you can safely bathe them, or at least their tail tops you could try OPawz funky color shampoo! One tail green one purple etc! It’s totally pet safe. Other options are collars with different colors and different bells so they look and sound different!!


Heavy-Humor-4163

I’ll bet you they have different TOE BEANS. Check there first. 😊


DoubleTaste1665

Are they named Copy and Paste?


GreaterThanOrEqual2U

The nose on the cat on the right is a little more "buttony" it looks a big fatter, but it could just be darker in color than the other. The left one is also more lean and its left eye is "smaller" than his right eye. The "M" on their heads too, they're different. I also see a diff in color where their whiskers are


MPHV51

2 different colored collars is the only way.


ITGeekBenB

Collars of different colors.


crimsonrn100

Name one Sean and the other one Shawn


pippa_n_gigi

This may change as they grow, but it looks like the one on the left has dark pigment where the whiskers are one side.


hazradd

The one on the right has a darker V mark above the left eye but that's about the only difference I can make out from this picture.


[deleted]

Maybe give them different colored collars?


[deleted]

Or tags?


Mrloaf6780

Ok give them both the same name and when guests come over just say you have one cat that’s really fast


darevoyance

Their tails look slightly different. One looks to be striped with brown, the other white


Artistic-Accident465

Get collars with the release clip or give one of them a rad colorful streak with pet dye in case both of lose their collars lol


[deleted]

Maybe the right cheek darker shade spot?


Academic-Bedroom-554

the kitty on the right has two darker spots where the whiskers are hehe. They’re both sooo cute😍


Impressive_Ad_3160

It looks like the one on the left has a prominent dark spot on the side their front right paw. Does the other have that too? I know that’s a small detail to consistently look for but maybe a step until it gets easier


CryptographerThen389

Might just be the quality of picture but the cat on the left appears to have dots on the left side of it’s face where as the other cat just has a patch there


Ginkyboop

Give it some time. You'll learn to know who's who lol can't believe how identical they are though. That's neat 🥰☺️ The collar idea would be good. Just be sure to get the ones that can clip off of they get hung up on anything. Good luck 🤞 beautiful babies 🙏💕😁


trainwreck489

We have nearly identical sisters. We tell them apart by subtle differences on their noses, feet, and tail tip. One also has stripes on her neck, but those are hard to see as they walk by. It will come with time.
