Where's Cortez

Cortez loves his brother Nolan, so much so that he almost never leaves his side. At first I thought Cortez was hanging around Nolan because he was always with me, but I was wrong. Lately, when I put Nolan in his room for nap time, Cortez has been sitting outside the door crying to be let in so that he can play with his brother. When I bring Nolan into bed to get a few extra minutes of sleep, suddenly Cortez wants to sleep on the bed too. And when I try to do portrait sessions with Nolan, Cortez pops up so that he can be in the pictures too. Note below:

Well the other day it finally caught up with him. Nolan reached out and grabbed a big handful of Cortez's ear and wouldn't let go. I have been training Cortez for this moment for months, when we first found out I was pregnant the cat training began. Even with all that time of preparation I didn't know how he would react when the real thing actually happened. He was perfect, he pulled at first and then realized that he wasn't getting out of that vice grip anytime soon and just laid down to wait until Nolan had his fill. No scratching, biting or claws from him, not even a meow. I was so very proud.
