This is the same with Filou and Tigris. They are now 6 (will be 7 in February) and snuggle together very rarely -which they did very often in year 1 and 2.
Most of the time they avoid each other or struggle. It is often Filou who attacks first (he is very courageous) but at the end he will loose. Like Miley he's missing a sq centimeter of fur in the face at the moment.
If you play with one, the other will look at you magnetically but not play.
If Filou lays on a warm spot, Tigris will come, lick him first (faking friendship) but the licking will be harder and harder until -struggle-Filou yowl-Tigris warm spot.
When you give a treat to one it works like with the toys.
If one is purring by your side same story: the other one looks hypnotizing.
Sometimes we think it could be easier with a third but who knows.

Tigris used to attack Filou at the litterbox when it was covered which ended up with Filou avoiding the litterbox and going besides it. Since we have removed the cover, this is fine. Filou does not cover his poop however but from time to time Tigris does this job for him.

Crazy cats. What else should I say.
