Thankful Thursday: Brotherly Love

 Hi everyone!

We are joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday blog hop today.

When Carmine was alive, he liked Tylan pretty well, but he did not like it when Tylan got right in his face. Carmine wanted Tylan to lay near him, not on him. 

Carmine and Tylan

So when Tylan wanted to snuggle Carmine in Carmine's favorite bed, Carmine was a good big brother and stayed for a few minutes before he'd wander off to let Tylan have the bed to himself. But once in a while, Carmine actually seemed to enjoy the snuggle and would stay put for a little while longer. 

Giovanni and Tylan

Then, when Giovanni first came home to join our family as a kitten, he'd crawl into the heated bed with Tylan, snuggle right up against him, and have a nap! 

As Giovanni got older, he decided he's not a fan of beds, BUT you could almost always find him and Tylan hanging out next to each other, whether it was in the cat tree, on my bed, or on the floor with Tylan in his heated bed and Giovanni just outside of it. 

Both Carmine and Giovanni loved Tylan and enjoyed his company. It was so sweet to see that both of them felt safe and comfortable with him and snuggled him, even if it wasn't always their preference to share a bed. 

Carmine and Giovanni are thankful for the brotherly love they shared with Tylan.

Thankful Thursday

  2. Beautiful photos and memories, I've always envied those who had kitties that showed affection with one another ... my (when more than one) always tended to barely tolerate each other. Very sweet story of all of them, you were blessed.
