So, for those of you who haven't met the boys, let me introduce them.
This is Orion:

Orion will tell you he is the Alpha cat. Orion is wrong, but we let him have his delusions. Orion likes to give bonks, but sometimes they turn into headbutts. Orion is not afraid of anything and really really wants to go outside. Except for when he sneaks out and gets scared. If you come over, he will love you, especially if you are also a guy. Orion's nicknames are Ri, RiRi, and Mr. Ri.
This is Jasper:

Jasper is the Alpha cat. He lets Orion think otherwise most of the time, but he does lay down the well-deserved smackdown on occasion. Jasper is pretty and sweet, and has the breath of a vulture. See, he has this disease that is making him lose his teeth (current count: 5), and we are just working on keeping him as pain-free as possible. He does let me know when his mouth hurts. Jasper is afraid of fireworks and thunder and hides at the top of the stairs when he hears them. Jasper is a former street cat who has no interest in returning outside. Jasper's nicknames are Jaz, Jazzy Jaz Jaz Man, Mr. Man, and Dr. J (only Cdub uses the last).
So, the boys usually get along. Also, they are entertaining. They have been known to convince Cdub to feed them when I am being neglectful (OK, that was all Ri). I have come home to the TV on. I have come home to the stereo on (Avril Lavigne, proving that their taste in music is not so good). I have watched Jasper fall down the stairs whilst chasing his tail. I have seen Ri run into a wall. Right now, they are lying near me wondering when I'll stop typing and pet them. I think now would be a good time.
