Don't Be Fooled by These Cats

Although it looks like two buddies sharing a couch - it is not so! Angel, the "elder", loves to sit on the afghan. Sebastian snuck up behind him and curled up on a tiny pillow, looking like he is settled in. But... all it takes is a loud sound and our latest addition is off and running. He is slowly finding his comfort level here and it is clear the memory of the cold and unfriendly street life is still fresh in his mind. We don't know what bad experiences he had when he was outside but he is very wary of any sudden movement or sound and when he eats he stays crouched over his food, ready to run at the slightest provocation. He does love his "human" (youngest son) and spends much of his time up in younger son's room, curled up on the bed or on top of a high wardrobe. When he is downstairs with the rest of us, he is usually found by one of the windows with his nose pressed against the glass. He obviously still has a love for the outside - but that is another story.
