Good-hearted Tommy?
I just witnessed Tommy allowing Eli to win a play-fight. He even yelped
once, as if to say "Hey, man, take it easy on me!" Tommy's the boss, Eli knows that so well, and I think a big part of why he was so aggressive toward the younger and smaller kitties before, was always being lower in status than Tommy (and Baby Eyes, too, of course, but being "mamacat" she was not a threat to Eli), and needing to assert that he's 2nd in command. Has Tommy now decided to let Eli win a few rounds, out of benevolence, or to please me, or...? It's hard to imagine Tommy understanding that small concessions like this help defuse Eli's aggressive tendency. But I must admit it's possible. The most remarkable thing about what I saw is the fact that these two cats ordinarily don't engage in one-on-one play for more than a few seconds, due to Eli's fear, and this little session was quite lengthy. |
