So the fact they are grooming one another is very interesting. It could be that the housing arrangement has lead them to bond strongly.
Do your other two groom one another?

Hi Kevin,
I'm glad that you like the pictures.
Ebony and Kitty were as you say feral kitties. We call them roaming kitties.
But because we have been feeding them, and taken care of them medically, and given them houses to live in by our back door,,, I think they have come to trust us.
Now we can pet them as long as we are by the back door where they know we feed and talk to them.
But when we are out in the back yard with them they keep their distance from us a bit more. Ebony will come up to us a bit, but Kitty still won't, but will be close.
So we are slowly gaining their trust and love.
As for our two kitties Brumby and Callie. They are brother and sister.
And they do groom each other, and sleep and play together and everything else that siblings do with each other.
Here for you are a couple pictures I shot of Brumby and Callie
sleeping together on the kitchen table where their
towels are on a permanent Basis. After all, it's their house as
much as our house.
Talk to you soon my friend,
Gary
