Hi - This is Holly. I posted a couple months ago about my cats Birdie and Homer. Still haven't taken any photos of them I can put here (sorry - they are quite adorable, as you can only imagine!), but I have some questions. We have had Birdie for 5 years and just about 3 months ago or so, we got Homer to be her "brother." Well, it didn't take them too long to get used to each other and they get along fairly well, but they have their episodes when they do what I call "play-fighting." And, I can't tell which it is! Can anybody give me some information so I can figure out if they are just playing or if they actually are fighting? Yelling at them to stop doesn't seem to help - they quit when they are ready to. Sometimes, one of them will just stop and walk away, but a lot of times, they chase each other around. There is hissing, spitting and loud meowing involved sometimes, but other times, they are quiet! Then, at the end of the day, they sleep (sometimes side-by-side) with us in our bed and are just so peaceful and sweet. Oh - another thing is that these "episodes" start with one of them licking the other on the head! Which is cute and sweet, but it always deteriorates into more roughness.
Oh - the reason I haven't posted til now is I forgot my password! Any help for the above situation would be appreciated and I'll work on getting some pics here for you all to see. Thanks! :)
