The Fight
There are rare moments when the two new kitties sit still long enough for me to photograph them. Ater they’ve passed out from playing, I’ll squeeze in a quick few shots. But, most of the time they are busy chasing/attacking/wrestling one or more of the following:
A) Me
B) Biceps
C) “Gray Mouse”
D) “Black Mouse”
E) Their invisible friend(s)
But mostly, they are attacking each other. This is the beginning of one such fight.
Maxwell (laying down) taunts Bianca as she innocently walks by, looking for her scratching post.
That initial taunting turns into this white blur for several minutes.
I know you can’t tell, but Bianca is winning.
The fight pauses momentarily as they catch their cat breath.
A few more swats from Maxwell encourages Bianca not to quietly into the night.
The fight is over. Maxwell has acquiesced. Bianca is still the reigning champion. Right on, sister cat.
I kept meaning to go back and say how entertaining (although scary) this is!! I’m just not used to see pets fighting and since I’m allergic to cats, rarely have had one. RARELY means yeah, I’ve had a couple only b/c my son wanted one when he was in grade school and even though it almost killed me to be around them or have them in our house, I still let him have cats at different times. I did run over one, though which was a horrid experiece, but it got out, got up under the car and it actually rode up there for about 4 miles or more in traffic, then fell out-my poor son was horrified when he looked back when two cars almost collided b/c of them-and he saw his cat get run over! ;( It wasn’t pleasant!!
Enough about the few we’ve had. Yours are so beautiful and I think they MUST have the instinct to want to fight now and then but then what do I know about cats? It seems they always make up and fall asleep together and I LOVE seeing them side by side!! That zebra rug is perfect for photo opts with them, too!! They look gorgeous on it!!
Really did enjoy this but again-scary to see them fighting but I still think some of it was playing…or I hope so.
Thanks for sharing!!
