Ok advice please,
Taz is nearly a year old now & he has a friend that comes visiting, who also looks quite young, i've named his friend Tigger for want of a better name. Now Tigger supposedly has a home somewhere, as far as I can tell he's never in it tho, always out, rain, wind or shine. So he spends a lot of time with us.
Now both Taz n Tigger play constantly when they're inside, it's like they're wrestling apart from when Taz, gets fed up & starts whining 'cos he's a soft mummy's boy. Is this behaviour just playing or is it some sort of mysterious cat ranking thing. As I suspect Tigger thinks he's moved in. I have Tasha as well now she's the boss when in comes to other cats & Tigger's bright enough not to go near her, lol. All advice gratefully recieved, thanks, Sue

It definitely sounds like playing to me, 'wrestling' is exactly how I would describe it when my two are playfighting. It might be an idea to pop a paper collar on Tigger asking for his owners to contact you, just to check that he does have a home and isn't lost as it sounds a bit odd that he's out in all weathers.

Hiya,
thanks for that, been a long time since I had any younger cats, usually adults that adopt me. Tigger's gone out for now, hopefully home. He does have a home somewhere as he has a collar of his own but there's no name tag or address. Also the 1st few times he was about he was very small, well I wouldn't have let him out at that size :shocked: I will however add a note to his collar the next time he's in. Which probably won't be long ;D thanks

Welcome to Purrs. :) If both cats are coming out of it unscathed it's likely to be rough play. My younger two can be terrifying with their "matches." (Although now I end up playing the music that happens when Captain Kirk has a scrap in Star Trek in my head....odd, I know. ;))
-
Yes Ripley and Ruby Red Pants are always wrestling, Ripley usually comes off worse but is soon back for another round as soon as Ruby turns her back.

:rofl:
cheers i'm stuck with that in my head now too, lol. If anyone has some better names than Tigger, let me know as I still can't think of anything thanks
-
Presumably Tigger is a tabby? I love naming animals, will have a think. (Pictures help. ;))
-
Hiya,
no pics of him yet but Tigger is a brown mackeral tabby, quite gentle, doesn't mind you stroking him but obviously isnt used to it, generally friendly especially when food's coming, lol :sneaky:
I stand corrected I do have a pic....Tigger is the 1 looking at the camera

What lovely cats! :) Ummm - Radu? (It means "happy.")
-
They're both gorgeous and look like they could be brothers :Luv2: Maybe you could give Tigger a wrestlers name :evillaugh:
-
I like Radu & will also look up some wrestlers names too...
Guess i'll have to watch him like I did my other 2 - Tasha my big black girl, 'cos she'd have done alright in the russian mafia or general world domination :evillaugh:
Taz - well 'cos of tazmanian devil really, destroys everything in his path & will eat anything too. My spare recycle bin, Taz would be the 1 to destroy all life on earth by pushing the big red button, not on purpose off course, but 'cos he fell on it or tried to eat it, lol :naughty:
-
ooooh he's lovely ... I'd call him Mack (seeing as he's a mackeral tabby :innocent:) - yeah I know not very original! lol
-
:Luv: aww they are both beautiful!...im not good at names...but like the suggestions here....how about 'cefer'...?...C for (cat?) :rofl:
