My Maggie can be a drama queen. For example when I clip her claws she tends to meow like I'm killing her. Well Jordan becomes concerned when she does this. Last night he kept coming up to me & giving me looks like "What are you doing to her?" I'd show her to him so he could see she was not hurt, he'd lick her head & walk away. However, as soon as she starts screaming again he comes running. At one point last night his pupils were dialated & he had his I'm about to attack look. I've got a couple questions. Is it common for a male cat to have a protective response to another cat? Second, could he attack me thinking he was protecting her?
