Even when they&rsquo;re done running around, playing with each other, and with the dog (the dog doesn&rsquo;t look like them, though!), they&rsquo;re often trying to sneak a smooch before bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that&rsquo;s not the only thing that attests to the bond these two fluffers share. Wallace and Gus can&rsquo;t seem to go to the bathroom without following each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, these two rebellious rascals like grooming themselves while they&rsquo;re sitting next to each other. Sometimes they&rsquo;ll take things even further and start grooming each other, licking each other&rsquo;s fluff, and munching on each other&rsquo;s paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gus absolutely adores conducting a whole nighttime routine on Wallace&rsquo;s face when they&rsquo;re getting sleepy and getting ready for bed (which makes sense because he&rsquo;s a cat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Wallace prefers when Gus does all the work and he gets to relax after a day of running around, munching on carrots, and messing with the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, have you seen the two of them lounging next to the fireplace together? Oh, they&rsquo;re pretty much only missing a hot chocolate (which neither of them can have!) and a great book (which neither of them can read!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the owner appreciates when they allow her to snuggle with them which means she&rsquo;s the one that gets to drink the chocolate and read the book. On the other hand, the owner <em>also <\/em>appreciates when the two brothers from different mothers aren&rsquo;t fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Wallace and Gus wouldn&rsquo;t do anything to harm each other or make each other cry, they don&rsquo;t always agree on who gets the bed. We, for once, laughed our bottoms off when we saw the two fighting over who gets the fluffier, softer bed that&rsquo;s near the fireplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace seemed to have beaten Gus to the bed, and Gus couldn&rsquo;t hide how disappointed he was. But, because he&rsquo;s a good brother and a great BFF, he walked away.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1265\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-1280x1265.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-1280x1265.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-640x632.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-768x759.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-150x148.jpg 150w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1265\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-1280x1265.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33820 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-1280x1265.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-640x632.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-768x759.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2-150x148.jpg 150w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-2.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wallacethewabbit\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"2174\" target=\"_blank\">Wallacethewabbit<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace and Gus have grown attached (emotionally and physically!) over time and their owner couldn&rsquo;t be happier about the fact that both of them <em>clearly <\/em>make each other&rsquo;s days better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether they&rsquo;re snuggling, grooming each other, or fighting over the bed, there&rsquo;s never a dull moment with the two ginger giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would argue that there&rsquo;s always something going on between the two, but we&rsquo;re keeping our eyes peeled on our screens when Gus becomes annoyed with the fact that Wallace managed to grow bigger and stronger than him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace and Gus are making the odd friendship work, but that&rsquo;s not always the case when we&rsquo;re talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/do-cats-attack-rabbits\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2175\">cats and rabbits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are predators, but rabbits aren&rsquo;t; which means the cat might attack the rabbit if and when she thinks she&rsquo;s threatened. Cats aren&rsquo;t big on surprises and aren&rsquo;t fond of people or animals messing with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are moody, possessive, and territorial, and they aren&rsquo;t afraid of attacking first (rather than waiting to be attacked to defend themselves). Cats are the best <em>until<\/em> they aren&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats and rabbits can be friends, but there are a few things to keep an eye on before you head over to the nearest shelter to get your feline friend a BFF. Wallace was a baby when he met Gus, but the owner made sure to get them together slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace was amused with little titbits and trinkets and he was locked away (<em>inside of a pen<\/em>) to ensure that Gus couldn&rsquo;t accidentally attack him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gus was <em>also<\/em> amused by some treats that were placed close to the pen (but, not too close) and the two repeated the process a couple of times before they got used to each other&rsquo;s scents and presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, make sure to monitor your cat and your rabbit for as much time as you think they need to get used to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace and Gus seemed to become friends quite soon, but that&rsquo;s not always the case. Whether you were inspired by Wallace and Gus&rsquo;s story or you were planning on getting a rabbit friend for your feline, we&rsquo;re keeping our fingers crossed that everything works out. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection.png\" alt=\"Brothers From Different Mothers: Orange Cat And Wallace The Rabbit Share A Special Connection\" class=\"wp-image-33843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection.png 520w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-640x1137.png 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-1280x2275.png 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-150x267.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection.png\" alt=\"Brothers From Different Mothers: Orange Cat And Wallace The Rabbit Share A Special Connection\" class=\"wp-image-33843 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection.png 520w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-640x1137.png 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-1280x2275.png 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection-150x267.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Brothers-From-Different-Mothers-Orange-Cat-And-Wallace-The-Rabbit-Share-A-Special-Connection.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the owner of the WallaceTheWabbit Instagram account brought home the three-month-old Flemish Giant, she didn&rsquo;t know that she was actually bringing home a best &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":33821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"syndication_tool_enabled":false,"syndication_tool_title":"","syndication_tool_excerpt":"","syndication_tool_featured_image":0,"syndication_tool_publish_date":"","syndication_tool_schema_types":[],"syndication_tool_backlink_enable":false,"syndication_tool_ai_disclosure_enable":false,"disable-in-feed":false,"article-schema-type":"","disable-critical-css":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cat-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33747"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33747\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49771,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33747\/revisions\/49771"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
