Who is the alpha cat in your household?
In ours it is QC over all. Each cat has his own field of expertise where they are the alpha expert. Huey is in charge of Rob's bed (Huey just lets me share it). Sonya is in charge of delivering messages; Pine Cone is in charge of wild events; Honor is in charge of strange things (lately she has taken to sleeping and eating inside of an empty fish tank); Merlin is in charge of water glasses; and Tanada is in charge of gas. There are other fields of expertise, but I'm too tired to remember them at the moment. Pam S. |

Still Molly is the dog whisperer. And with a snootful of nip she can whip Jake's butt. She takes full advantage of the time she spent being a mama cat. Jo |

And yet, they are often to be found curled up together either asleep, or grooming one another. =o) It's Cesca who is the door warden, though. She's a bit bolder about meeting and greeting strangers, while Nina hides under the comforter on the bed. =o) Melissa |

Go Honor! Merlin is in charge of water glasses; and Tanada is in charge of gas. You know, this could have been a poem: "Merlin is in charge of water glasses Tanada in charge of gas passes." There are other fields of expertise, but I'm too tired to remember them at the moment. Pam S. Totally Stinky. There is no way to revoke fourteen years of seniority. Dante loves to leap at him but it's *because* Stinky's the alpha, and Dante is in charge of leaping at things. Otherwise, Stinky is in charge of all the boxes. ALL the boxes everywhere. He is in charge of cuddling, lap-sitting, and chest-meatloafing, of belly rubs, of kissing, of the basement, of patrolling the perimeter, of mousing (catch-and-release), late-night and early morning piano playing, bathroom escort, and yowling. Dante is in charge of the air-cleaner (it is one of his favorite places to meatloaf), tripping people on the stairs, strange little dances on my legs (with twenty claws out), pipe cleaners, drinking straws, bottle caps, the crinky froggy toy, and continuous purring. In fact, here is a word from Dante: HELLO EFFURYBODDY I HAF LOTS OF EXTRA PURRS ALLATIME SO U CAN HAF ALL THE PURRS U NEED ENNYTIME CAWS I PURR ALLATIME Thank you Dante. They are jointly in charge of zoomies, cat noises, and hoomin food-tasting. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War |

It's funny to watch Basho beat up on Fez, who is easily twice as big. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

wrote: Who is the alpha cat in your household? There's some doubt about that with our three... they all seem dominant in different ways - Scouty is the biggest and strongest (but very retiring), Tessie is the most vociferous and demanding and visible (just by virtue of being young and active)... but when it comes to feeding time we see who truly rules the roost - SILVER! She's very quiet about it, but she always gets her way... when I put the bowls down they each have their own. Silver scarfs hers down and then if she's not restrained she moves to Scouty's bowl, Scouty moves over to Tessie's and Tessie backs away without a protest. I don't want Scouty and Tessie to go hungry so I hold Silver off until one of the others is finished, and then I let them sort it out. |

No cluons were harmed when "tanada" wrote: Who is the alpha cat in your household? Generally speaking, Little Feet is in charge, but in a laid back, mellow sort of way. Dulce Mae is the dominant one, who passes out evaluations and discipline to all but Little Feet. She generally has rude things to say about boy cats, and will not allow another girl cat in the house. Little Boy *wants to be* alpha cat. He often crowds Little Feet from his favorite spots, steals Dulce Mae's spots when she gets up, and has been known to mistakenly bat at Dulce Mae when she passes by. He always gets a piece of her mind, and flinches as she does, so he hasn't worked it out yet. Buster is king of the cuddle, hanging on *tight* with needle-sharp claws. Little Boy is king of kisses and hugs, especially if you have a peppermint in your mouth. Little Feet is king of all-around sweetness, allowing me to rock him like a baby and to kiss him on the head. He cuddles with me whenever possible. Dulce Mae is simply The Princess. Hugs and Purrs, Mark -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request |

Ours is Stosh, without a doubt. He's taking his guard duty very seriously,
poking into every room at night to make sure everything's OK, and has delegated the nightly massage to his second-in-command, Brandy. God forbid a squirrel come into the yard; he'll be at the window yelling warnings and obscenities to the trespassing rodent, running from room to room to make sure his presence is well-noticed. He also doesn't know his strength, and forgets that two-legged people don't have a fur coat; Stosh'll try to engage me in a wrasslin match at his whim, and sometimes those claws can dig in. He is gentlemanly though, and after watching to make sure the food is evenly distributed, will let the girls go first before he looks for a dish for himself. Sabrina, however, is arguing with Roxie over who is to be the Lady of the House. Roxie has been a miffed little princess and has been getting into squabbles with our newest little girl, mostly over who gets time with Daddy. Although the language isn't very ladylike. As Sabrina gets more courage, the talk gets saltier. I have the feeling that I'm in the middle of a riveting Alexis and Krystle scene out of "Dynasty." Except my girls don't need shoulder pads to look their best. Blessed be, Baha tanada wrote: Who is the alpha cat in your household? In ours it is QC over all.

wrote: Who is the alpha cat in your household? Sometimes it is hard to tell, since the house is broken up into different territories ruled by this one or that one. But I have noticed that when the wood stove is going, it is always Robin who has the premier center spot. And when he decides to sleep on my bed, he lies down where he wants; even if it is Djoser's regular place. And Djoser runs off growling. Robin also patrols the place. When he spots the feral tomcat out the window, he will run from window to door to another window, keeping track of it's movements. And all the time he is growling with his tail puffed out. Djoser and Sheba don't pay any attention; they are no longer interested in the outside. -- CATherine |

I think right now we're having a "debate" about who is the Alpha Cat. Trill, Merlyn, Wolfie and Jack seem to all be vying for the position. Maybe Arthur, too, although I think he just likes to jump in where there is trouble! (that's his middle name!) Internet could care less, Kate is just curious, Brando just wants fed and loved, and Cosmo doesn't worry about it because he *knows* he is the Top Cat. :-) Ginger-lyn and The Nine |
