RE: Sasha, a feral brought in as a kitten three years ago, and Marlow, a feral one and a half year old brought in three months ago.
A lot of you already know these two. And you know about Sasha's recent health issues. Anyway, Sasha is doing very well since his surgery (five weeks ago today). He and Marlow seem to get on pretty well. It's thier play fighting I wonder about. Marlow left Sasha alone while he was feeling bad. Since he has gotten better, Sasha and Marlow spar more and more. It looks like it's all in good fun but they do bite and scratch alot.
They take turns initiating the play. Marlow likes to come up behind Sasha and step on his tail. Sasha likes to try to swat at and bite Marlows hind legs to get things going.
Will they test the bounderies of what is too rough and back off? The skirmishes are not much more intense than they ever were. But they are more frequent.
They ALMOST always stop when we tell them to or even just give them a disapproving look.
