10-year-old Cats Share a Remarkable Bond, Have Been Waiting 6 Months for Their Dream Home Together
“Fast forward one week and several tests, Milo was diagnosed with Feline Diabetes. I, of course, was devastated,” Sarah shared. “This diagnosis wasn’t, however, difficult for Milo. He handles his shots with grace and patience and the blood glucose tests he cheerfully accepts, as long as he gets kisses afterwards.”
Milo has been so calm, brave, affectionate while undergoing diet changes, tests, and medical procedures (including a full dental). He is always in good spirits, lazing on his human while sporting his adorable snaggletooth.

“I could not have navigated the onboarding of diabetes management with any other cat than Milo. He was and is a breeze to medicate. He is sparkling and shiny like a new car, and he has the best breath in town.”
Slowly but surely, Angus came out of his shell observing the world around him. He decided to relinquish the comfort of the cubbyhole one day, and take the leap of faith to accept his foster mom with his whole heart.

“He loves to be in whatever room I am in and always be near me. If I am sitting, he is right next to me or nestled up touching my leg,” Sarah told Love Meow. “He is a bit skittish and is easily intimidated, but he is the biggest sweetheart.”
For the first couple of months, Sarah didn’t notice the typical characteristics of a bond from the brothers, albeit they got along well, until one day during a loud storm.

Sarah was at her office in downtown Nashville when the storm hit. She pulled up her cat camera to check on the boys, and was amazed by what she witnessed. “They were huddled together in the corner waiting out the storm. I’ve since observed the way they comfort each other.”
“(One night,) I gave Angus some probiotic paste to help avoid hairballs. After the administering was complete, Milo got up from his comfy spot, moved closer to Angus and checked on him as Angus licked the remaining paste from his mouth.”
