In any multiple cats household, there will be a lot of play. At times when the cats become over-zealous or enthusiastic in mock play, it may escalate into possible aggression.
When that happens, as a prevention, our human would shout or scream, "Oi !, Hey !, Naughty Boy ! or Naughty Girl !" This usually stops the cats in their tracks and all will be back to normal peace.
Somehow with Pebble, it has never progressed to the stage of EJ's shoutings.
EJ found out why and got the evidence.
Here's Pebble hugging the leg of the hardwood podium in the MeowYard at first...
...then turned aggressive, fangs bared with wild-looking eyes clutching the wooden leg and kicking frenziedly.
Pebble must have some imagination!
Pebble knows she can turn all her aggression on the chair leg, and it won't fight back.
ReplyDeleteIt's a win-win situation for Pebble. She gets to play the game, but not feel the pain.
You are a very intelligent cat, Pebble.
Love, Kay and Lindy

ReplyDeletehe he he,,, Kay and Lindy beat me to it - was gonna say Pebble's sorted out that this way there's no competition! Wisdom plus.
Then again, maybe that leg's got more going for it than we can ever know...
Happy Sunday! YAM-aunty xxx

Good choice of opponent Pebbles, the chair leg will never fight back and you won't be shouted at for causing trouble.
ReplyDeleteMOL! Way to go Pebbles!
ReplyDeleteHa! We think that's the perfect opponent on which to take out one's feelings of aggression and desire for play. :-)
ReplyDeleteGo Pebble Go! It looks like you are having a kickin' good time!
ReplyDeleteOh Pebble, too cute. You get that table and don't let it go. Love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get that table to be good now you've given it a good kick Pebble.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Pebble knows that his imaginary prey can't fight back! His imagination no doubt, allows him many adventures. Just like a child at play.
ReplyDeleteHehehe

You tell that fierce, wood leg who's boss, Pebbles. You're too cute!
ReplyDeletehee hee...furniture can get so unruly!
ReplyDeleteI had to laff at Katnip Lounge's comment. xox
ReplyDeleteHehehe, same here! Let's face it, EJ, you are the lowest person on the totem pole in your own home. Cats rule :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Looks like someone is getting the ol' 'stink eye'!

Hey Pebbles, you've got that chair leg right where you want it. Now show it who's the boss. Careful don't let it turn on you, furniture doesn't always fight fair.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very adorable hand pose ever!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't keep any cats, it's very interesting to know and see every cat has his/her own personality and maybe philosophy :)
ReplyDeleteCute position,wonderfull cat, greeting from Belgium
ReplyDeleteLife is cool..only in a good house.
ReplyDeleteha ha! Pebble is so funny!
ReplyDeleteI love it when my cats fight. It releases some of that kitty energy. A tired cat is a good cat!
ReplyDeleteSo smart, Pebble! You can give that chair leg the business, and you neer have to worry about it getting upset! :)
