Peanut never says much at all, but Tubby has taken to talking to Peanut! He never used to do this, but lately whenever he sees her or starts walking towards her, he makes this kind of like purring sound in his throat. Then he'll go up and sniff her. Depending on what her mood is she'll either walk away - in which case he'll follow her making this noise in his throat, she'll tolerate his sniffing for a minute or two then walk away, or she'll tolerate his sniffing for a second and WHAP! the paw comes out and all hell breaks loose. I really have no idea if he just wants to play and is being an instigator or if he's finally - after about 12 years together - trying to make friends.
