Meet Coal and Bailey from Caldicot, South Wales - two cat brothers who were originally born in Bristol, England, but since have moved.

They usually are at home for health reasons, doing their cat stuff. But despite this, they still have a lot of fun running around the house being silly and cute and they give a lot of fun and happiness to their humans!

How Coal, Bailey, and Ellie met each other

Ellie found Coal and Bailey on an online advert, she spoke to the woman that was fostering the brothers' mum.

Cat mum was abused by the previous care taker and new foster people had no idea she was pregnant until they took her in.

Because of the abuse their mum had suffered, she wasn’t very attentive to her litter and by 4 weeks old the litter of 4 had to be hand reared as she neglected them.

Ellie’s family went to visit them and instantly fell in love and took them home a few weeks later.

Favorite toys and nap spots

Coal loves to sleep in an Ikea UTSÅDD cat house and his favourite toy is a feather on a stick.

Bailey will be found napping wherever there is sun. He loves his glittsy balls as well as he loves to play fetch with them.

Favorite stories about Coal and Bailey

So both Bailey and Coal are indoor cats for medical reasons.

One evening, Bailey managed to get out of an open window on the top floor and went on an adventure. Ellie’s family found him the next day in the neighbour’s garden. He didn’t venture out again after that incident.

Coal is a bit of a goofy character, but loves his treats. He could be fast asleep but as soon as he hears the treat jar - he just appears, meowing for his life.

Coal and Bailey do get along well. They like to play “fight” like brothers would. They can often be found grooming each other and like to cuddle up in the winter months when it’s colder.

Bailey can play fetch with his glitsy ball and Coal is good at solving treat puzzles quickly.

Nicknames

They have nicknames which Ellie’s family uses more than their actual names.

Collectively they call them “dumb and dumber” when they get into mischief. Usually one or the other ends up doing something clumsy, like falling over or knocking onto something.

Coal is more often called - Coaly Bowly and Bailey is called Bay Bays.
