togetherness

[cellio]

This degree of togetherness is pretty unusual:

And even more unusual, look who was first to leave (letting me get a better shot of Erik):

I still can't get either of the boys to snuggle with Embla (or vice-versa), though.

Erik and Baldur always stand while eating, while Embla always sits. (This feels like the beginning of a logic puzzle: standers always lie, and... no, never mind.) I wonder why that is. Is it a gender thing? An individual-cat thing? Random but consistent for a given cat? Usually random and my cats are weird in their consistency?

My experience is that cats do have characteristic eating and drinking styles. For my current two, for example: Maggie always hunkers down while eating, while Frankie always stands (neither sit or lie down fully); Frankie won't actually drink from a water bowl, he dips his paw into it and then licks it off.
