Strange behaviour from my two.....
Came home from work today to find Alf and Ronnie, who have lived together happily for nearly three years, growling and hissing and doing all the proper threatening behaviour (spine fur up). This is not the normal play fighting that they indulge in. After watching them for a while, it looks like Ronnie (3 year old female) is doing all the threatening and Alf (6 year old neutured male) is responding to this.
I'm thinking this is a pecking order fight, as Ronnie has always been the lower ranking cat.
Any thoughts?
