About Tinsel (with Claus)
Tinsel is the softer, more cautious half of this adorable brother duo. While Claus is the confident explorer, Tinsel takes his time, watching the world carefully before joining in. But once he feels safe, he becomes incredibly sweet, playful, and oh‑so‑cuddly.
He has special “comfortable moments” where he completely melts—making biscuits on the bed, purring, and snuggling into soft blankets or close to his favourite humans.
He may be timid, but his affection is deep, gentle, and genuinely heart‑melting.
Claus and Tinsel’s bond is something truly beautiful. They play nonstop, chase their ping‑pong balls like tiny athletes, groom each other, nap together, and make biscuits in perfect brotherly harmony. Watching them together is pure joy.
