My cat Tiger is going to be 3 in September. He's a lean orange fluffball weighing in a 12 lbs.
When Pumpkin died I guess he took over as our dominating male.
When we brought the kittens home (two boys) Tiger kittenhandled them and showed them that he's boss.
Well Panda Orson will never be big enough to take on anything, and we always think of him as our third female cat because he weighs 9.2 lbs and squaks like a high-pitched bird at almost a year old.
But Mylo is the same age and already a dense burrito weighing 12lbs.
Tiger can still take mylo down, but it's harder than it used to be.

So my question is;
Will Mylo one day take Tiger down? Or will Mylo continue to give up during their wrestling matches? And if he does take Tiger down, will that make Tiger the second boy?

Thanks!

I have a 10 year old male that is the highest in the pecking order, over time I adopted a few young males and one of them loves to wrestle Molasses the 10 year old. Mo is not quite as strong as Toby but Toby seems to know that Molasses is the senior cat and keeps it that way.

I'm glad your molasses still has senority over Toby!
I am just afraid Tiger and Mylo's relationship will be strained as Mylo grows.
Hopefully they all stay happy
