Thank you for the encouragement. My head agrees with you, but my heart hoped for a faster response. Boy, what an unreasonable heart, eh?

I bet it is hard to want them to be lovey dovey and yet they are not yet. I would buy a laser pen and a few fishing pole type toys, where they need you to be at the other end, to play. They will associate you with the toys. I would also give them treats at the same time. If they didn't have each other, they may have been friendlier too, but it IS nice to have them be happy with just each other for the time being.
My cats go through stages of being friendly and then not so much. They have their moods and rules.
I hope they boys get friendly soon! I would hate to have your heart break!
My advice is play, play, play!
Good luck.
I hadn't thought of the treats WITH the pole toys and the laser games. Hmmm. One of the boys is fascinated by the laser light, the other is VERY dubious.Babysteps of progresses ... a heck of a lot slower than I'd hoped for/dreamed of.

If it is in them, they will accept cuddles in their own time.Play is good.
Jane was 5 months when I rescued her so she adapted fairly quick. Bob and Emily are adults and I have had them for 3 months tomorrow.Bob is learning to play and he started that first. My kittehs taught him to play. Now he does sleep with me on the bed sometimes and will get up on a low cat furniture for some scritches. He doesn't like to be approached for lovies and still doesn't like to be picked up. I'm working on it.
Emily will let you hold her for a minute, but then wants down. She sleeps on the pillow next to me. She does not like other cats. She's been 13 years on her own.
Keep on trying. y'all will get there.![]()

Hallelujah!!!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
