But Tux is smart, and he now uses it as a way to steal his favourite sleeping spots from Rocky.Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-62487725631774609692013-09-20T06:39:09.598-07:002013-09-20T06:39:09.598-07:00After getting along for two years our two kitties ...After getting along for two years our two kitties (4 year old male and 2 year old female) suddenly started fighting nonstop. After one fight required our male cat to have surgery, our vet recommend the PetFax program at the Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic (http://www.tufts.edu/vet/petfax/). They gave us some great advice, including a detailed description of how to carefully teach them to become friends again. If you are reaching your wits end, I would highly recommend their service.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15294687727699473233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-19264408309841759602013-09-20T05:43:47.530-07:002013-09-20T05:43:47.530-07:00Teenagers.Teenagers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-77392395144625167112013-09-19T19:47:52.609-07:002013-09-19T19:47:52.609-07:00I've heard that one purpose it serves is to ma...I've heard that one purpose it serves is to mark the lickee as a member of the licker's tribe.

The elder cat died, the one remaning keeps trying to groom the 2 newer cats to no avail. She'll get in 3 licks and that's it. Maybe the new cats are afraid that she thinks that they're Tootsie Roll Pops? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-47868479007868444502013-09-19T15:21:35.671-07:002013-09-19T15:21:35.671-07:00I love pics #2 and 3 with Wylla having one paw on ...I love pics #2 and 3 with Wylla having one paw on Charlene's chest and the other poised to strike.

Roomie's cat has no concept of personal space and will often squish in as close to Smokey as she can, heedless of all the obvious signs that Smokey is not in the mood to cuddle.
