    One year ago this thread was innocently hijacked by Pris and myself while discussing the subject matter of this thread as it related to choice. The discussion quickly took on a life of it's own and evolved into what you see today.

    The debate can be made whether this has been 'good' or 'bad' for the thread but for me, what made it special is how spontaneously it started. There was no agenda, just the joy of being. Who knows, perhaps the cats were an escape from dog-ma?

    Life has it's dogma (fixed attention) but thankfully there is Catilosophy, otherwise it would be nothing but a dog eat dog world.







    Of course dog-ma never gives up without a fight.



    P.s.

    Pris, are you still finding that hair?

    That's how it is with kids, too. If they're screaming and fighting, everything is fine. The second they get too quiet, look out!

    My Spanish cats used to have a "fight club" every morning. Every morning, after they had eaten, they would wrestle and tussle and chase each other all over the house and outside. They weren't being hostile to each other. They were just digging being cats

    Lmao! My mom has three strays I brang her from my back yard (oh yeah, huge sucker!), 2 females and 1 male...every night around 6 one of the females actively searches out the other female to go bananas on. I swear the poor victim owes the bully money or something.

    OMG! mine are INSANE!! I just recently "acquired" a beautiful pointed ragdoll male named Ming; a great cat. my Thor (Theodore -- pics of him posted somewhere way early in this thread climbing the curtains and Christmas tree) likes to play really rough - so much so that hands on play with him is impossible ... he seems to have trained Ming in the rough play arts and almost every morning around 4:00 to 5:00 am my house turns into a warzone!

    Cats running around jumping on each other from high places, fighting ON the piano (and my cheap piano has no keyboard cover), up and down the stairs, knocking over chairs, it goes on and on. Not to mention all the weird cat noises they make while doing this. All play though, as far as I can tell, no hissing or growling ever (which I think would the point where it gets "serious" -- there was a little of that when we first got Ming, but they seem to decent friends now).

    When we first started witnessing it, I was a bit concerned, but it seems just like a couple teenage boys wrestling hard in the halls at school or on the play field - you know the ones where you had to look twice to see if it was a real fight or not -- that's how my cats play. And if their food bowls start to go empty, some sort of instincts begin to kick and it gets rougher, lol. They are both big cats too, Ming is about 12lbs and Thor is about 15 lbs. Thor did run around crazy at 4:00 am a little before we got Ming, but now it's been taken to the second power.


    I should get some video of the action!
    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.
