Sasha has always been “that cat” that wants to sleep in a pile of cats. Before Gus she would snuggle up to the other cats and get rebuffed. Maybe it’s her feral start. It’s warmer to snuggle outdoors. Maybe it’s her personality. In any case she has found her true snuggler.
Gus was an eight week old stray found in a field in bad shape. He had wounds and fleas and it’s doubtful he would have made it had he not been taken to a shelter. That’s all we know of his background. At the shelter there are a lot of cats so maybe he learned about snuggling there. There is nothing like a good snuggle to make anyone feel better especially such a young cat.
This week I’ve been able to catch a few shots of the snuggling between the two. The grays have no interest and prefer sleeping alone. Here are the snuggling couple.
Gus is so good with Sasha that he lets her sleep in his bed.
But that picture didn’t tell the whole story. This one does.
Everyone here wishes you all a great weekend!
❤️❤️

That’s great that Gus and Sasha get along so well – as we head into Winter, there will be a whole lot more snuggling going on.

I know! I love it. Gus is trying to figure out the fireplace. He goes up close and smells it but he hasn’t sprawled in front of it yet like the other cats.

Sometimes my two snuggle and sometimes they fight, which makes me nuts. Mostly they each get into their own basket and sleep. They loved my laundry basket so much, I gave them each one. It’s better than having cat hair on the furniture.

They certainly are although Gus does give Gracie attention too. Morgan is the only one who isn’t interested. They do the obligatory butt sniffing but then call it a day and go their separate ways.

That is always nerve wracking! You are always so careful integrating your new cats – I think that definitely helps a lot in making it a smooth transition.

I think I’ve been lucky. If the rescue has a note that says “needs to be only cat” I walk on by. I try to go slow but sometimes they solve the problem by jumping the fence to get in with the population. Morgan did that. She didn’t want to miss any action.

He is. Morgan is too. Neutered male cats seem to be much more laid back than lady cats and intact males which is why I suggest the procedure for all politicians.

They are not quite as sharp as I would like them. You get great shots with your phone. I use a camera and with cats, it’s really hard to get action shots. Maybe it’s the photographer! 🙂

Your cats are just too quick. I use a camera, too, one that lives in my pocket. It’s quicker than the phone and is set to save small files, not the huge monstrosities the phone insists on saving.

It’s better than having them sleep on the center cloth. We rarely use our dining room table as we have a large eat in kitchen. When company comes it’s a major cleaning!

Wonderful! Because Sasha was in a rescue with tons of cats all free in the same big space, her experience was probably a lot like Gus’s was. (Sasha was there for a good while before she came to my solo cat room.) But I bet they both are finding comfort in something they enjoyed as youngsters. So glad they have each other!!

Sasha is a bit bossy but they get along great. I saw Gus give her the big NO paw when she pestered him recently. First time I saw him do that. He puts us with her better than anyone else in the house.
