Cats Herd You

Mancat Monday

Thanks to everyone for their advice and thoughts yesterday on Newton’s new tendency to get all romantic and bitey with the head peep’s arm. Newton is due for his annual visit to you-know-where soon, and we’ll make sure it’s behavioral and not anything health-related then. If there’s any news, we’ll keep you posted.

In the meantime, it’s mancat Monday, and Pierre is taking a mancat break from playing with his Neko Fly toy.

We’re pretty sure that this break is because he has been participating in incredible acrobatics and just needs breather.

It isn’t because he got so excited that he rolled around on it and is now wrapped in the toy’s string… is it?

Newton Does Another Naughty Thing

Naughty Newton strikes again. Do you see the scandalized look on Pierre’s face as he looks on?

Newton has a new habit of biting. Not biting like Cathy Keshia does the TW, either. No, Newton’s biting comes along with some amorous moves. (We won’t include photographic evidence of those in our blog post, in case kittens are reading along with you.)

Besides putting vampire-style holes in the head peep’s arm, it just seems odd that a nearly five year old cat would suddenly decide to express his dominance quite this way.

Has anyone else had a cat who did this? Any suggestions about ways to successfully redirect him so he’s not trying to make out nightly with the head peep’s arm?
