It’s not the vibe I would’ve chosen. It’s a common risk with siblings and pets I think that they may be company and they may be rivals and they may be both

They were never really affectionate with each other and, since Clyde died, Bonnie has become a whole other cat. I'd love another but she is clearly happiest as a solo cat
