The boys are very clean. They groom themselves on a regular basis and their fur shines with a healthy glow. The cat doctor recently commented on the luster of their coats. Naturally the fur-faces are exceedingly proud of this. But even when you are a very conscientious groomer there are areas you can't reach. And that's where the brotherly buddy system kicks in. The boys lick the tops of each other's heads. And thus, the lone area that can't be self-cleaned gets managed by the other guy. It's a good system. It's also used to indicate "no hard feelings" after a particularly vigorous fight. First there's charging up and down the stairs, much wrestling, some biting and the occasional bit of yowling when one guy bites too hard. Then after staring at each other very hard with a look that says "Do you not understand the concept of "play fight"? That frickin' hurt!!" One will walk over to the other and lick the top of the other brother's head. And peace is in the valley. Peace keeping. Maybe Mike Pearson got the idea from his
cats. I'd like to think so. xxx dad
