I believe this is a Bunny Ears Cactus, which is a type of Opuntia.  
Be careful handling it, if it’s what I think it is, they have prickles that are very tricky to remove from skin. 🌵

Amazing! My first cactus died after a good 3 years so I’m hoping I can do a lot better with this one 🤞

Bunny ear!!! It’s my favorite cactus! Mine has grown so fast since getting her.

If you put yours in a bright window, it’ll start doing the same thing as mine!
