BZZZZT!
"Midnight" and "D.J." share almost no phonemes. Nor do they look much
alike, other than being domestic (not necessarily domesticated) felines, as
D.J. is tan and white and can stand on his hind legs and look into the
sink, while Midnight weighs in at a comparatively light 12 pounds. Yet
they still get called by each others' names . . .
