Re: Meet Lena and Tim!
Squirtle, I'm amazed by it too  Dexter is amazingly similar to Lena! How old is he btw?
Thanks so much for all the compliments- i'm obsessed with taking photos of them so I'm so glad someone has finally taken notice of all my efforts, my friends and family are mostly tired of hearing everything about my cats all the time
Kiwi, as for how the became so close. Well we got Lena in the beginning of November, and then we got Tim and his brother in late december. I probably did a mistake as I didn't think at all about slowly introducinf them or anything, I just put the three together. They were very cautious at first. Tim's brother ran and hid while Lena and Tim proceeded to growl at each other the entire day. * They kept their distance for a couple of days, then Lena started to act kinda motherly towards them (she was 4 months at the time and they were 3). She'd let them eat however much they wanted to without trying the food first (even though there were three bowls, she waited beside them), she'd clean them all the time, etc. Then they started to play a lot, but Tim's brother was always rather on his own, watching them from a safe distance, so we decided to give him away to our friends. Well since them Tim and Lena have always stuck together, not once acted jealous of each other. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Lena has always been more independent, not at all the kind of cat to sit in my lap and let me pet her. Tim is the complete opposite. So she's more into him and not that much into me, while he's the sweet little boy who's either cuddling with her or with me  I think we were just very lucky to get a match made in heaven
