They were adopted by Kona Stories from the Human Society the week before the store opened.

Joy and Brenda named them "Barnes" and "Noble" because they met at "Barnes and Noble" bookstore in a book club.

"Barnes" is male and spend most of his time next door at "Curves" where his true love Marlene spoils him everyday.

"Noble" is a female and spend her time looking for food and sleeping on the Lanai. She needs more time at "Curves" because she is a bit over weight. But she is the most "Chatty" and will take the time to talk to anyone who will pet her.
