I have two questions, for anyone who might have the answers:
1) What does it mean when one cat grooms the other, but Cat #2 doesn't also groom Cat #1?
For example, my 1-1/2 year old Geisha grooms our 6-month old kitten Kuri, but Kuri doesn't groom Geisha. Also, previously, our kitty Sumo (who passed away in August) only groomed her when she was a small kitten, but as "young adults," Geisha groomed Sumo (and not vice versa).
2) My kitties Geisha and Kuri like to sniff each other's bottom occasionally. They see each other every day so it's not like they're *new* kitties who they have to get to know. Why do cats do this?
Thanks!
