4729.0. "Chloe "Tyson" Chaisson, the boxer!" by JJLIET::JUDY (My body says yes but my mind says no) Mon Jun 17 1991 14:33

    
    	I was laughing so hard Saturday night that I was crying.
    	As most of you know, Chloe our Himmie is what I call a
    	wimp cat.  She keeps to herself most of the time and is
    	terrified of Sasha and any loud noise.  Every once in a
    	while she'll play wrestle with Audrey but 99% of the time
    	it's Audrey that's instigated it.
    
    	Well Saturday night I don't know what possessed her but
    	out of the blue (and it was pure luck that I saw it because
    	we had a bunch of people over) Chloe goes BAP...BAP....BAP
    	on top of Audrey's head!!  It was hysterical!  And she must
    	have been smacking her fairly hard too cuz I could *hear*
    	it!  I suppose you had to see it but Chloe is a VERY furry
    	white cat and Audrey (still being somewhat of a kitten)
    	is a small Siamese....Audrey took off like a bat out of you
    	know where....she's not used to Chloe retaliating on her!
    
    	Maybe she will emerge out of her shell......

	Having seen your pics, I can imagine what it must have looked 
	like :^}  I love it when they go into 'boxer' mode - it's so
	cute!

	Do any of yours 'snap' at the others like a dog?  C.C. will do
	this if she's sitting on my lap and doesn't want to share.  It's
	funny to hear her jaws snap shut, and she's usually got this
	very annoyed look on her face at the same time :^}

    AHAHAHA,, I can just see that now... 
    Hmm.. no one "snaps in my house".. but the other nite I was sitting
    down in chair.. paws up, reading and enjoying a cup of tea.
    Kissy came wandering thru and hopped up to visit,, she was all
    curled up and purring away.. When Preschie arrived on the scens..
    she jumped up and was quite surprised to see Kissy all curled up..
    well Ms Preschie settled in as well,, and of course I thought..
    neato .. 2 furfaces.. well as I continued to read. I saw Preschie
    stretch out very casually and pushhhhhhhhhh Kissy a little.. and much
    to her surprise.. Kissy pushed back,, not very very gently either,,
    and the next thing Ms Preschie knew she was on the floor.. with 
    that WELL I MEANT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN LOOK.. SO THERE.. and f
    course.. Kissy looked at me as if to say.. Gee I wonder how that
    happened.. hmm..that brown tabby and white kitty.. went boom..
    oh well.. back to sleep..
    Kate, Happy( good now I have couch all to myself..) Preschie( Harumph..
    Kissy..( tee-hee..)

    	re: Sandy
    
    	Nope....no snapping.  Just hissing and growling.  Audrey is
    	SO hyper and wants to play most of the time she's awake and
    	the others being 2, 2, and 5 years older sometimes wish 
    	she'd just leave them alone!  So they just hiss or growl
    	at her and she goes away....usually.

4729.4Talk about the velvet touch..SOLVIT::IVESMon Jun 17 1991 18:4612
    Yup, sounds like Ming when she is sick and tired of Mocha
    beating her up. Gentle to a fault and will run and hide
    most of the time but lately, she is standing up on her hind
    legs and popping Mocha each side of the head. The sound is
    unbelievable. To think that soft paws hitting against fur
    could make that "bap" sound.
    
    Those passive Himmies can only be pushed so far and then
    watch out. Audry will have more respect for Chole now and
    in the future.

    the "bap" is Isis's favorite method of enforcement.  And she
    uses it to tell the kittens who's boss in our house.

    	I can see Isis doing that too.  She's definitely ruler of
    	the roost if I ever saw one!

4729.7No one ever said Ragdolls were smart....JUPITR::KAGNOTo cats, all things belong to catsTue Jun 18 1991 18:344
    Kelsey baps.  Only he's too stupid to REALLY bap.  Instead, he just
    goes thru the bapping motion forgetting to hit his target!  Then he
    wonders why Taja is relentless in instigating fun and games!!
    
4729.8Planning Where to land the PuchFSOA::LCHESTERWed Jun 19 1991 12:1423
    I can appreciate the boxing show.  Jessica tries to sleep with
    us at night.  Once she's settled and 3/4 asleep, Alexander will
    hop up and e-v-e-r ...s-o ...s-l-o-w-l-y start sidling towards
    her.  If he's in a good mood, he'll get just close enough to
    start licking her ears and head, then try to snuggle close.
    She'll half wake up and start to wash  him in a desultory
    manner.  This goes on for a minute or two and I'm finally
    thinking "Oh Boy!, they're finally accepting one another!"
    when one of them, usually Alexander, takes a bite instead
    of a lick.  And then it starts - hisses and spitting and
    boxing, until Jessica leaves and Alex has the bed to himself.
    
    But it is so funny to see Alex sitting up on his hind legs,
    using one paw like a boxer to lean forward and bop Jessie,
    then sit back with the paw in the air definding himself
    and deciding where to land the next blow.  Of course Jessie
    plays sneaky too and while he's sitting up there like Ali,
    she's getting ready to jump at his belly.  If she won at
    least half of the time I'd be happier, but Alex usually
    gets his way although he's only 9 months old and she's 8
    years old.
