Sean and Addi Getting Along

Sometimes these two actually get along.  Of course it's only when they're done playing and not getting in eachother's way.  They really have settled in though.  They're perfectly ok with finding us while we're busy doing something on any electronic device and curling up on top of us and either demanding to be petted or just falling asleep.

Looking at this picture I almost see a racoon but not quite.  The sun is hitting them just right to put a shine on them and make them look a little different than they normally do (except for the napping part.)

These guys have all of the signals that they trust us though.  Some of what you hear can be misleading on this matter.  One guy online was saying that you should never rub their belly.  Again this seems to be a trust issue.  As long as they aren't in play mode both of these guys are just fine with it.  In play mode however they may take your hand to be a toy and attack it.  They don't hiss or actually try to hurt and after a second they go from attack to groom but their mood plays a big role in how they react to things.

We also make sure to play with them a bit and give the rare treat (maybe once a week or so) to keep them engaged.  Their feeding times are automatic and they know there will always be more food coming.  Often they don't eat all of their food right away, leaving some for later.

They still like their cat grass.  We don't leave it inside though so they don't overdo it.  Not sure they can but we like to monitor how much grass they eat or play with.  Sometimes they'd rather pull it up and bat it around.  They are super different though to the point I wouldn't have thought they had grown up together but I guess that's probably true with most siblings.
