It’s become clear to me that Brazil likes the company of other cats; the physical closeness of them, in fact. I of course had seen this previously. But his snuggling in the cylinder-house cat-tree could have been mere acquiescence – he was already present when Chiff decided to join him – and Brazil may have reasoned that the top of the taller cat-tree in the sitting room had plenty of room for two felines.
But periodically, Shimmer likes to try settling in with Renn in the bedroom’s saddle-topped cat-tree. There just isn’t room for two larger or longer cats here. Theodore and Chiff successfully managed it when they were not full grown. But Brazil’s attempt to share the space with his foster-brother does not go over well with the latter, who starts complaining (ie. whining) in a loud and strong tone. This – and the lack of anywhere comfortable to stretch out or curl up – causes Brazil to jump down.
But it doesn’t keep him from trying later.
Oh dear! I'm not sure who I feel sorrier for - Brazil who wants to be close to his foster brother, or Renn who gets unwanted attention.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteKeep trying! You two look mighty nice together!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Brazil needs to wait until Renn is on the bed and he can snuggle without complaint. It is good that he enjoys company even though Renn doesn't agree.
ReplyDeleteA great spot, but not really enough space for 2.
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Renn. Lol. I'm sure at his stage of life he'd prefer to be left in peace. Maybe Brazil and your next foster will get along well and thus give Brazil someone to snuggle with.
ReplyDeleteAh! Bless! Renn...master of the saddle-topped
ReplyDeletecat-tree...! HeHe!x
I'm totally with Roberta.
ReplyDeleteYou need a bigger saddle Brazil, maybe one the size to fit a Belgian Horse!
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet.
