Finally got a video of....

Tubby grooming Peanut. This took a couple of takes because Tubby knows he's not supposed to be doing this, so everytime I got relatively close with the camera, he walked away - probably thought I was coming to scold him. ;) :D But after a few times and he didn't get scolded, he stayed and I got a good video, and Peanut looks so sweet in it, like she really likes her big brother doing this. I think what the problem is, if you notice, he licks the wrong way - against the grain so to speak. If he'd like "with the grain" she might not get so aggravated at him. :rolleyes: ;)

Anyway, hope you enjoy! And just so you know, the only reason this didn't end in its usual spat is because I was hovering and Tubby wasn't taking any chances. ;)

Oh that is so adorable!!!! :D

So cute. :D

I read that the top cat will groom the others. So is Tubby the top cat ?

That is so sweet! But nothing less than Princess Peanut deserves!

Yep, always has been and always will be. ;) :D

The funny thing is he's always been top cat and has only been grooming for about a year now. Don't know what's gotten into him in his old age. :rolleyes: :D

Yes, but if only Princess Peanut liked it! Like I say, this isn't the normal ending to the grooming session. Usually ends in a spat with lots of Tubby complaining going on - Peanut fights in silence, Tubby does not. :rolleyes: :D

Aww, that is so sweet!!!

Awww - that is so cute!!!

My top cat, Hallie, also does that to the other 2 cats sometimes - but, often times her grooming sessions end with her biting the "groomee" :eek:

Also, when I was a teen we had a bunch of rottweilers (my mother bred them), and the mom of the bunch mothered everything - including the cats!! She used to lick and wash my RB Rudy's face everyday - he loved it (and would tilt his face up to her so she could do it). When she was done, he would be soaked - but happy :D

Awww Debbie, that is So sweet!! :p Tubby is such a gentleman and Peanut seems to enjoy it! :)

One of these days, we'll post a clip with Fister's comment. ;) - if we can get it converted to the right format. :rolleyes:

Aww! That is SO sweet! Mishi does the same thing to Mitzi - licks her fur the wrong way .... she gets some pretty interesting "fur-dos" after Mishi is done with his grooming. Must be a guy thing :rolleyes: :) Wish I had a faster camera to catch the action. As always Peanut and Tubby look SO CUTE in your videos.

Silly boy! Please tell meowmie that practice makes perfect and someday you'll figure out which way to lick (with the grain.)

I love the movies of the cats. They are so adorable!

Cute video!

I wish Mango groomed his sisters just to be nice. Usually he starts grooming and then starts biting - not hard but just to be a nuisance. He usually wants to sleep where one of the girls is and that's his method of chasing her off.

Can I have Peanut? :p

I swear, she's one of the most ADORABLE cats I have ever seen!!! SOOOOOOO CUTE!!

That video is just sooo precious........big brother grooming little sister. So cute! :D

I love the extra "chewing" on the back of her neck... though I'm sure Peanut did not care for it. :D

:D :D I thought the same thing. I'm thinking "Gee, Tubby, licking is one thing but must you do the little bites too? No wonder she hauls off and whacks you one!" :rolleyes: :D

Thanks everybody. The only reason this is adorable is because it was during the day. 3 times last night I was woke up by scuffles because of Tubby's incessant need to lick Peanut. I tell you, after the second time I was ready to....oh well, you know I wouldn't do anything like that anyway, but it does get rather annoying during the early morning hours - like 1, 3 and 4:30 am! :rolleyes: :D

I am so glad that I got an extra hour on the Computer , as I have been treated to four different Cat Movies and Tubby grooming his sister was adorable. The Siamese Squad is always doing this and JJJ3 grooms his pal John Hnacock , but so did BoBo amd moose , after John lost , all but two , of his teeth.

How cute is that???!!!! Peanut is just BEAUTIFUL and she is being groomed by an incredibly HANDSOME fellow!!

I think you guys are missing the whole point of her whacking him. A girl has to play hard to get in order to keep him coming back!! She is a very smart female!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif

That is so sweet. Beau licks Felicia, never the other way around. The Felicia will bite Beau. Felicia is the top cat here.

How precious!!! What a good big brother you are, Tubby! I think Peanut was actually enjoying it .... it's so hard to wash well behind your own ears!!!:D

Aww, how sweet of Tubby. He loves his sister.
Maybe there is hope for my senior cats in the future.

I wasn't sure about letting Samantha watch this video, I thought she might be a little jealous of Peanut.;)
Tubby is such a sweetie with his sister, I love the little nibble he gives her and the way he keeps looking up at you to make sure that it is OK for him to be licking his sister.:)
