- Sid: I like playing with Canopus. He’s very gentle.
- Lily: That’s Arcturus. Canopus is here.
- Sid: Really? Well, they virtually look the same.
- Lily: Yes, they’re hard to tell apart. But not for a mother, of course.
- Sid: Of course not…
- Sid: I really gotta go now. Bye, and thanks for the invitation!
- Lily and Woo: Bye!
- Woo: That was Canopus.
- Lily: How can you tell?! They look exactly the same!

Well… Ladies for you, always need to show that they are superior, even if in the particular case they are not…
One word: Smell.
Two words: Facial Tattoos.
But wait… how would Woo know? :3
So, Sirius is the one with black mask and rings, Vega has black rings and grey mask, and Canopus and Arcturus both have black mask and grey rings?
Identical twins in the litter?
We grew up with identical twins, still make jokes sometimes that they could have been swapped
nitpicky detail; in panel 5, I think Woo’s face may be missing a line.
@ Who, me?:
Sorry, panel 4.
But Canopus prefers to roll in Peppermint while Arcturus is more likely to be in the Catnip patch.
@ Jerry:
Which are both mint.
So, if a cat gets high trying to bite them, it’s Arcturus?
Maybe they’ll have distinct behaviours.
Sandra (tiptoeing up): (whispers) Hi, Woo. D’you think I could get a look at your cubs?
Woo: W-well, even if Lily was prepared to let you near them, there’s no telling how they might react-
Arcturus: *!!!* *streaks away and hides*
Canopus: *scampers over to Sandra and starts climbing her*
Woo: Ah… ha!
And so:
Lily: …you don’t need my mother’s instinct to tell them apart now: Canopus is the one that smells of human!
Sid: Great! Makes things so much easier for the rest of us! Yes it does! Yes it does! *scritches Canopus*
Canopus: *giggle*
Lily: (whispers) Better get Sandra round for another playdate – all this petting’s obscuring her scent, and I still can’t tell them apart any other way! :•(
Woo: Sure! :•)
>:=)>
They are both Arcturus as well as Canopus.
Let’s play the Which One is Canopus game!

It’s easier to tell when you watch the anime.
Easy enough one has more of a twinkle in their eyes than the other.
I’m waiting to see how long before they’re taught to play pool, unless Lily got rid of her pool table.
Well, they ARE twins. Er, quadruplets.
Maybe it is a coincidence of perspective but the one sleeping, Arcturus, has more rounded ears in both panels. Also the mask edge that juts out connects at less of a right angle on Canopus as well… but again both of these could be coincidences and unintentional minor differences.
@ Natey214:
Never met identical twins that I couldn’t tell apart. Their voices are always different, and one is nearly always taller or thinner, longer face, mole, freckle, and the way they talk to you or look at you, is different. So even when their trying to fool you, most will give themselves away without even knowing it, because there is always something that is different, especially if you’re more of a friend of one twin, vs both twins.
Now with Raccoons, it has got to be the smell!
@ GameCobra:
It’s the stripes on their tails, one of them has a darker tip the other has a lighter tip.
How would Woo know?
Here comes the classic who’s who… 😉
Still better names than Renesmee
Ok, I’m done with reading comments.
Canopus have bit longer “gloves”. Grey fur reach elbow. Arcturus have “gloves” that end before elbow.
Apply water to burned area
Atleast Woo was smart enough to NOT point it out in front of Sid 😛
@ Nekomimi:
I think the length on thier “masks” are also different Canopus has longer “straps”/”spikes”
Before claiming to see minor differences in appearance, consider the effects of Perspective on how they appear.
@ GameCobra:
@ MathAddict:
He’s just that good.
@ Petah-Petah:
We are all Alpharius.
@ GameCobra:
because of he has learned how to tell humans apart and due to him being a raccoon he has a disadvantage in that area

Arcturus Canopus Woo and Canopus Arcturus Woo? 🙂
I think she sees Sid more as a lower life form (read “food”) than as Woo’s friend.
you’re a Arcturus now! you’re a Canopus now!
And the award for Mother of the Year goes to…
Not Lily!
@ BlkBear
I never met identical twins that I couldn’t tell apart either, but apparently it is a common effect. One set of twin boys in my high school even managed to swap girlfriends for a while – until they ran their mouth about it, and someone they told was indiscreet, and suddenly they had no girlfriends at all.
LOL, Lily, all you have to do is name both of them Arcturus or both of them Canopus.
A pair of twin girls in my high school classes used to trade places all the time.
We knew because they would occasionally Tell us on days when htey were swapping.
They did a Lot of it at Exam time. They were careful to always sign up for Separate Classes especially in the Same Subjects.
That way, when Studying, one could concentrate on Algebra while the Other studied Biology. Then, they would take Both Exams in the subjects they had Studied for.
.
The place where they Didn’t swap was Elective classes.
Their interests were different in most of those.
.
As far as I know, no Teacher ever caught them even though most of the teachers Had to suspect what was going on.
.
@ Jerry:
In fourth grade, I developed a crush on a twin. I maintained that crush for about 3 years.
She (and her twin) sometimes really hated it. Somehow, I could tell them apart even when They weren’t together. Don’t ask me how.
Anyway, the teaches couldn’t tell them apart, but soon caught on I could. For some reason, they gave up trying to swap in the classes either of them had with me.
@ BlkBear:
I read that the best way to tell between identical twins is to check their belly buttons, as those are not identical.
Least Woo is gonna be a good dad.
Woo! Oran High School refrence! Also, I think I saw a spot on Canopus’s left heel. It might just be something stuck to my screen or my computer glitching again.
Woops, sorry. I was commenting on Swiftpen’s comment. I’m new to commenting and I still don’t know all the mechanics.
