Orville & Wilbur Wright

The Wright brothers of Galesburg are together again.  Wilbur passed away on Thursday, June 16, 2022 at age 16.  His brother Orville joined him on Sunday, February 19, 2023 at age 17. 

Even though they are orange tabby litter mates, Wilbur and Orville were quite different. Little Orville was definitely the extrovert, into everything including every bag or box that came into the house.  He burrowed into the warm bed sheets as soon as they came out of the dryer, pulled thread from the sewing machine needle and ran all through the house with it, and climbed to the top of everything he could.  Wilbur was a big boy but very shy.  He loved chasing the laser light but wasn’t interested in climbing anything higher than the couch.  Wilbur loved to cuddle and especially loved belly rubs and stretching out on his back on the floor.  Both boys were very loving and sweet and are dearly missed.
