🥰 Rio is the white cat and Oli is the brown one. Oli is the first born, my little Taurus baby ❤️ Rio, my Scorpio baby, was with my sister for the holidays where I went to California (whole other story). Oli was with her too but then came back to my place, whereas Rio stayed longer with my sister at her college dorm. They grew a bond and I think the separation helped Rio become more affectionate (he used to not let me pet him, only the tail) and Oli became more comfortable taking up space (he lets me hold him indefinitely now!) because he used to never play or eat and would cower away. It’s hard being the oldest because you feel like the love you received has shifted even though, like in Boss Baby, you learn that love isn’t something that there is a total of and divisible... it expands the more you learn to love... Oli always gets territorial when he comes to a new environment and hisses at Rio. They used to cuddle all the time and this is the longest it’s been since I’ve seen them cuddle. Even though Rio is very personal space oriented, he is definitely more connection seeking. He LOVES Oli, and I think it’s hard when he’s being pushed away but Oli needs his space. Look at me projecting onto my cats as always. I always think they’re some kinda representation of me and sister and I’m... that’s right... my dad! Trying to figure who is who but I think Mail and Rio have always understood something about each other and I’m not sure if it’s cuz Rio is more like her or because he’s more like me and she’s used to that kinda yin yang vibe. Either way, it always makes me happy when they bond and it’s even sweeter when I’m next to them and enjoying family bonding with them. I’m currently on the couch with the next to me and it’s my happy place. I hold on my bladder just to soak in the experience while it lasts. Now I just wish Rio would stop peeing on his cat tree 😭...
