Males in the cat genus tend to be scavengers rather than hunters. They will chase other cats away from a kill, rather than making the kill on their own. Bunch of lazy sods, for the most part, who give cats a bad name. 😉
]]>Great pic! Easy to see they are not at all happy about the invader. 🙂
]]>Lily was spayed before the sex stereotype developed and is a very large kitten in many ways related to behavior. She would probably have fun mixing it up with another cat and feel like it was play.
Koshka would ‘talk’ to me, but most of the others have been almost mute. It is fun playing with them, as long as you accept that they get to choose the time and place.
]]>The words “trouble-making” could probably be omitted without loss of meaning…
We have a relatively new large orange tabby (presumably-)tom in this neighborhood, but he hasn’t paused in our yard even long enough for us to take a pic. He probably fears that if he pauses, we might sic Lily on him… Esther is potentially meaner when riled, but Lily is twice the sheer mass of any other cat in the neighborhood, and has a voice to match. (Lily will actually carry on a meowing dialog with a human, but you have to wait ’til she starts it. She has quite a vocabulary, actually.)
]]>His staff have complained, but I tell them that if they don’t want a soaking wet cat, neuter him.
