Sumner trying to dominate Jolie
I woke up early this morning to the sounds of tussling (but no yelling or screaming), which was Jolie and Sumner in the Catio (like a window air conditioner but all clear for cats to get real good roomy outdoor views). I took Jolie out, who was closest to the opening, but she growled and jumped back in for round two. Sumner finally left. A bit later, I found Sumner holding down Jolie by the neck back in the catio! Jolie didn’t like it though, and squirmed a lot to get away. I guess this is the new “fad” amongst my cats.
Here’s Galen doing it to Minerva a few weeks ago after she climbed up on the cubby and squeezed herself next to him, making him wake up from his nap by being pushed over by her. Minerva didn’t seem to mind at all. She got what she wanted; Galen awake and paying attention to her. I didn’t worry about them because they are in love.
Later on, my husband heard Simon “talking up a storm”, just a series of meow meow meows for quite a bit, which he doesn’t usually do. He found Simon and Galen sitting under the table, with Simon “talking” to Galen, in a friendly “tone of voice”, and Galen just sitting their listening. Adult cats don’t usually use meows to communicate with each other. I suppose Simon was telling Galen the new plan to puzzle the people. It doesn’t seem that I need to worry about Galen and Simon and their new relationship. And I suppose since Jolie jumped right back in to Sumner, I don’t need to worry about her either.
I just hope Simon and Sumner don’t try to do the hold on each other or there will probably be a real fight.
