Emily and Eliot are my 11 month old twins. They used to be inseparable - in fact they had to be adopted as a unit because of this. I have not seen them snuggle since this summer some time although they are the best of friends and partners in crime. Last night, Emily did not seem to be feeling too well and I kept watching her glance up at Eliot's bed which is high on a dresser. I KNEW she wanted up there. I could just tell. Before long, she hopped up to the edge. Smart girl - she started licking his face. Soon she put one paw in the bed. Now he usually willl not allow her anywhere NEAR his private quarters!! OK, she keeps licking and he is loving it. Soon TWO paws are inside. Finally her whole body and she keeps up the licking and grooming and Eliot is lulled to sleep. Before long, she plops right on top of him and this is what I saw! It was just like when they were babies!! They stayed there about a half hour, woke up and groomed each other and then the Kodak moment was over, but it sure was sweet to watch! Ahhhhh!! My babies!!
Eliot & Emily sandwich - not really kittens anymore though
