Siblings

 I observe a lot of close relationships between cat siblings. Sasha's last four, Natalie, Nixon, Nora and Nova often stick together and play with each other, Minnie, Rita and Lina are also close with each other. Terry and Patrick are independent males, but often eat side by side and they will sniff and be close with their sister Little Kim who is not social with other cats.

 Kim:


 * I want to give Kim some care, but she is not one that I can physically handle. Her coat is thicker than her brothers and is getting matted in some areas. She also appears to have the same periodontal disease as Thomas. When eating kibble, she sometimes howls in pain and runs from the bowl. Most often, she eats canned food and does it by picking it up on a paw and bringing it to her mouth. She seems in good health, but looks uncomfortable.


 Walter and Dora remain very close and it is rare to see one without the other nearby. They share food well without any conflict, often eating cheek to cheek without pushing. Their mother, Pablo, still watches over them and appears to maintain a close family unit. Most mother cats here do not seem to keep a relationship after about 5-6 months other than colony grouping.
