Cats and Kittens

Our cats are getting to be such good buds that they seem to be morphing into a single cat

For some reason, I just remembered something odd that happened a few years ago, when Tiger was still alive.

He was lying on a chair when our second cat came in and started bugging him. I was about to separate them when suddenly he hissed, grabbed her head...then started licking the top of it in a friendly manner. Any idea what that means in cat language?
 
Ours groom each other all the time. And then not long after the kitty wrestling starts which gets rougher and rougher until one bolts, which the other usually chases after.
 
I sure hope you have cats. :p
 
Cleaning can be an aggressive behavior, with the cleaning cat asserting dominance over the one being cleaned. Cleaning can also be a loving gesture too.

How do you ever get anything done when your kittens want to sleep on you all day??
 
I am usually content to do nothing while kittens nap on me. (good excuse as any)

Just wait until you are ready to go to bed and one of them is on your lap and comfy and if you get up you will disturb them. The joy! The sorrow!
 
We had a successful transplant yesterday. My wife was tired and wanted to relax in her lounger only to find our newest one already sacked out on it. Not wanting to disturb her but still NEEDING to relax, she carefully kept her cradled in the blanket and carefully picked it up and laid down and set the blanket in her lap. Nike momentarily picked up her head in dismay but quickly re-curled back in to a comfortable position and fell back asleep. Win Win.

Wear something that functions as a sling or hammock. When you need to get up, hold it so the kitten doesn't fall, and they will probably keep right on sleeping.

That happened to me back in the fall of 1986, when one of the kittens my Maggie had decided to crawl into the sleeve of my pajamas and go to sleep. I couldn't possibly bear to disturb him, so I held my arm steady for the next several hours while the kitten slept. I was able to get up, walk around, and do various things. As long as my arm didn't drop, he didn't wake up.

Mind you, he was only about 4-5 weeks old at the time. Doing this is impossible with an older kitten because they're more active.

I think it means, I'm the top cat, but I love you, and you're part of my family, even though you're an *******.
