Introduction
I have two cats named Mio and Lio who are very similar. Mio and
Lio are short-tailed domestic cats. They are only about two years
old. At first glance people might think that they are twins. It is
mostly because their fur color is both dominated by orange and
there is only a little white streak on their belly. But in fact, if you
look closely, it is very easy to tell them apart. If you want to
distinguish them, pay attention to their physical appearance,
voice and personality.

Thesis statement: If you want to distinguish them, pay attention

to their physical appearance, voice and personality.
 Body 1
Their physical appearance is different. Mio has a very short tail that is just like a ball of fur,
while Lio has a slightly longer and curved tail. In addition, Mio's face looks more chubby than
Lio's. I do not know the reason but maybe it is because Mio is a male cat and Lio is a female cat
so Mio gains weight more easily. And if you want to tell them apart by touching, you can try
petting them and you will feel the difference in the texture of their fur. Mio's fur will feel softer
and fluffier, while Lio's fur will be shinier and stiffer. Distinguishing from the shape of the face,
the shape of the tail and the texture of the fur is an easy way that can be done to distinguish
them.

Topic sentence : Their physical appearance is different

Concluding sentence : Distinguishing from the shape of the face, the shape of the tail and the
texture of the fur is an easy way that can be done to distinguish them.
 Body 2
Their voices are quite different. Lio's voice sounds higher and clearer but Mio's
voice sounds more hoarse and low. But Lio very rarely makes her voice. She only
makes a sound when either she is asking for food or looking for Mio. While Mio
meows very often. When asking for food, asking to be petted, asking for toys,
looking for Lio and he even meows when he sleeps. Differentiate by sound may
take a little while, but once you understand the difference, it is a great way to tell
them apart.

Topic sentence : Their voices are quite different

Concluding sentence : Differentiate by sound may take a little while, but once you
understand the difference, it is a great way to tell them apart.
 Body 3
Their personalities are also very different. Even though they are both cuddle-like cats, Lio tends to like to
be petted at any time and she is very easy to purr when being petted. Whereas Mio only purr at certain
times but his purring will be very loud and he will always follow me everywhere when he wants to be
petted. Although Lio really likes to be petted, but she is more sensitive to touch. You can not touch her
carelessly or she will leave you. She also does not like to be picked up or carried. If you do that, she will
immediately rebel and leave. Whereas Mio barely has any untouchable place. You can touch him anywhere
including belly, legs, tail, et cetera. If you have time to pay attention to the way they purr and be touched,
distinguishing by personalities is no less powerful way to tell them apart.

Topic sentence : Their personalities are also very different.

Concluding sentence : If you have time to pay attention to the way they purr and
be touched, distinguishing by personalities is no less powerful way to tell them
apart.
Conclusion
When they were first born, it was indeed very
difficult to tell them apart. But after several
time, it is very easy to differentiate them.
Maybe as time goes by they will show more
differences. We just need to pay close
attention.
