I love how big cats are so cuddly with each other...trusting so much, that there is almost no personal space between them.  This is a nice example of that.
You might make this into more of a panorama by cropping a third of the top green area and a bit off the bottom.  This would focus all our attention onto the cats. crying

I don't know what they ate, but whatever it was, it looks like the one on his side ate most of it. Probably, as suggested, a bit off the top.  Nice shot.

Yes, bummer about those vehicle tracks.  Techs look great and the brothers look unconcerned!
