Welcome at PetTalk Bryan!
It also took me some days before I read your long stories but they were well worth reading them because I now have the feeling I know your kitties quite a long time.

I agree: Bob with his size seems to be a Maine Coon -the only cats that still look slim or at least athletic with 17 lb. If I hadn't seen them together it would be very difficult for me to tell who is Joey and who is Bob.

It is great that they are such good friends hanging out together on the couch. I am sure this helps Joey a lot to feel comfortable.

I am looking forward to meeting them often here.

Tigris and Filou send headbumpies. (Their size difference is about the same, but Filou is an Abyssinian of 7,5 lb and Tigris half Aby half Siberian of 13 lb).
