my older cat is 4..when he was younger he had fun with rubber tubing..I had several feet of rubber tubing ,about 1/4" in diameter, and would cut it off in 5" strips and tie it in a knot...would throw it down the hallway and he would chase it almost endlessly..after a while he tired of that and moved on to another toy..
Now I have a little guy who is just over 1 yr and they get along great..absolutely no problems..the little guy also loves to chase this toy...but here is whats been going on lately..if the older cat gets ahold of the knotted rubbber tubing, he will chew on it for however it long it takes to get the knot out...dont know how he does it...I'm guessing that this is jealousy on his part although I have tried to get him to chase it..
Now when the little guy chases it he wont bring it to me to throw it for him again..he will take it in the kitchen and knock it under the stove, under the pantry door or go in the laundry room and knock it under the washer or dryer..is this his way of protecting his toy from the older cat?
