Scruffing
Tyler is 11 years old now. He's a glamorous looking cat with long hair,
and one of the biggest cats I have ever seen. His lifelong pal Orly is 14, a short haired ginger fellow and not much smaller. Every evening they sleep at opposite ends of the sofa. Once every evening, Orly will get up, march to the other end of the sofa and go through the motions of scruffing his buddy Tyler just like a mother cat would do with her kitten. He just holds Tyler down for a bit then lets him go. It's so comical to watch. Is Orly showing Tyler who's boss or just being affectionate? (sort of delurking - I haven't posted here in a long time) |

She is the only one of our cats I've ever seen do it, and the only one that has been a momma cat. Jo |

They're both very handsome fellows, the stories are amusing, and so are the captions under the photos. They both seem like great fur-friends. I looked at all the others, too. Arthur had gorgeous-colored fur, kind of an orangey-chocolate brown. I know that some black cats turn rust-colored as they get older. My mother once had a black cat who turned into almost a tortie when she got old. And I know I've seen Violetta's page, because I distinctly remember that picture with the spider. Not much of a hunter, is she? -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

But, of course - the boss has to show that he is still the boss from time to time.g Bettina |
