Brando gives Wolfie H*ll
Now, I have always heard that cats communicate with each other via
body language rather than sounds, with the exception of growls and hisses. But meowing, I have heard, is reserved for communicating with us two-leggeds. So the other day, Wolfie is sitting on top of one of our dead TVs in the living room (believe me, old, used TVs have short lifespans!), and Brando is sitting on the floor in front of him. The day before, Wolfie had been picking on Brando because Brando stole his food (the nerve!). But sitting on top of the biggest dead TV is also a favorite spot for the cat crew. Suddenly, Brando lets loose with a *loud* stream of meowing at Wolfie. I mean, I swear I could hear cat curse words in there! "Mrrrroowwww MEEEOOOWWW mrrrrowwwwwww!," he said. We were utterly astonished. Was Brando giving Wolfie hell for picking on him? A little later, we looked over, and there was Brando, contentedly sitting in the spot Wolfie had been in during the tirade. I guess Brando just wanted that spot! Ginger-lyn |

Then they spend 20-30 minutes calling each other obscene names and arguing. He raises up and tries to bite her feet - she whaps him on the head 8 or 7 times very quickly, then they go back to cursing, followed by more bite/whapwhapwhap... -- The One-and-only Holy Moses |

sounds like my house - Elmo and Stumbles don't get along so every now and
then Elmo decides it's time to pick on Tumbs. Then there's Mama Zoo, one minute she's sweet and lovable, next minute she's growling, complaining and then swats at anyone in her vicintiy. Ah the sweet sounds of home JoJo http://home.comcast.net/~zookeepr/fosters.html "Duke of URL" wrote in message ... "Ginger-lyn Summer" wrote in message ...
