Nigel and Skoobie have an "unspoken" bond of trust and respect. Although neither one will manifest this bond with outright displays of friendship and affection, I will often find the two of them close to each other in this cuddler. I swear Nigel holds Skoobie in high regard, aware that he is a senior and with such age comes experience and therefore, deserves respect. Skoobie respects Nigel's right to "catty-ness."
