Gryff has 'discovered' the roller ball toy

It has been so much fun, over the past few days, watching him come out of his shell and grow so much more confident. Now Madoc and Gryff are playing, eating and sleeping in a way that's almost as if they were from the same litter. And he is such an affectionate little guy.

That's the best news. They are very cute together. Thank you, Siwsan, for the pictures and the updates. Keep on being a wonderfully caring pet parent. Look forward to the continued progress reports and pictures of those kitty boys.

You'll know that they are real buddies when they start grooming each other.

I figured they would probably work it out at some point. This is light-speed.

I'm delighted for all three of you.

Madoc had been an 'only kitten', for a while and Gryff had been living in a cage, right next to his sister (although I know the vet staff gave him a LOT of attention). Maybe both just really missed feline companionship.

After I brought Gryff into the house, I made it a point to pay a whole lot of attention to Madoc so he would, maybe, feel a bit less threatened. Seems to have done the trick. Right now they are on my lap, sleeping with their heads against each others. They are almost unbearably cute.

It sounds like you are as fortunate as we have always been. It didn't matter whether it was two cats or a dog and a cat, they bonded like they were true family.
