Hi! I'm Mike and I'm new.
Anyway, I have a question about what my American Shorthair, Vala does sometimes when she's being playful. When she's some distance away from me, I can see her looking at me and I know she's being playful and I'll playfully raise my arms and make kind of a compressed hiss with the back of my mouth. She'll arch her back, the tail goes straight up in the air, she gets up on her tiptoes and starts hoping sideways toward me while her head his cocked to one side. She appears as though she's trying to avoid eye contact with me.
I'm very certain that she's being playful with me but I just want to make sure she's not trying to challenge me for dominance of the house or anything. You know how if you're in Italy, if you flick your head, you could be challenging someones manhood? I might be challenging her perceived dominance of the house.
I dunno. Any help would be appreciated!
