Well, everyone knows all about Bob and Don right? Well, I've never ever had more than one cat at a time so having two is a rare treat, and a real education. Bob is just a bundle of energy and zest for live, whereas Don prefers to sleep away the hours. They do however like to fight, and before they never got to the point where they were hurting each other. Some of the time it was pretty obvious that Don was REALLY unhappy with the trouncing he was getting from Bob, but more often than not a little later he'd get his own and Bob would be the one chased all over the place. It's fun to watch them run around and tackle each other:). But today, while getting ready to go see a friends voice recital, the boys were fighting. Nothing new, seemed harmless, but Don started hissing loudly and that usually means he's had enough and wants to just go away, but Bob would NOT relent. He just kept going!!!!!! Again, it didn't look like they were actually hurting each other so I didn't stop it, just let them settle it. When all was said and done and they were in their seperate corners I started calming Don down. I noticed some blood on his flank, but it wasn't his (thank god, he gets babied a bit more than Bob, he doesn't need anymore:)), it was Bob's, he had a small, very small cut near the corner of his mouth. I just wondered.... Does this perhaps signify an aggresive turn for the boys, or more a case of exuberance? I might be (and I hope I am) worrying too much, but still, better to get opinions:). Cheers all!
