Answer 1

B would be the correct answer, you are still explaining the same thing about them so you wouldnt say "and"

Answer 2

I think that it is B.Mallory has two cats named Salt and Pepper; they like to take afternoon naps. After using a semicolon you do not capitalize anything (except for proper nouns). Hope that this helps :)
