Just to let you know that Chipper and Nugget went to the vets on Thursday and got a thorough checkup and blood tests done. Their checkup went well and I should have the results of their blood tests sometime next week.
The vet is sure that it is all behavorial. He said that it could take another month or so for Nugget to stop mourning the loss of his PeaPod. It's so sad when you think of it, isn't it.

Lorraine, have you been getting many sunny days lately?
This may sound crazy but I've noticed this about Storm recently. When it's been dreary and rainy for several weeks, he tends to get moodier and more grumpy and he'll lash out at his brothers much more. When he finally gets to see the sun again his mood is much better and he seems much happier. I know that sun deprivation affects people too and can cause depression but I never thought that it could also affect animals in a similar way.

You know Tracey, crazy as it may sound, you just might have something there. Last month was the pits for lack of sun and very cold. But this past week, we have had sunny days all week and I have noticed an improvement in the boys and I have pictures to prove it. :D
Knock on wood, it has been 4 days since Nuggy pooped on the floor and his meowing around the house has become less and less now. Chipper hasn't been so hissy and Poppy isn't attacking him or Willy so much. So all in all, I can say that things are slowly progressing. I do not have a "Paradise" here where every day is good, I have bad days also, but not like it has been for the last month or more.
Thank you all who replied in my other thread. Your advice and kind words were really appreciated.
Now on with the pictures in the next post.
