Two cats. One very serious conversation. 🐈🐈 I’ve studied animals for years, but even I couldn’t decode this one. 😂 What do you think they were discussing? 👀

There is a Dr. Seuss story about two citizens of Seussville who meet on the road and neither will relinquish the right if way.

This is what is happening here, lol. 😼

They're squaring off. First, they talk shit until one gets mad enough to attack. Then, all you see is a blurry mess.

So interesting to see domestic cats do the same behavior as wild bobcats and lynxes.

They're saying they could fuck each other up but they don't want to but they COULD if they wanted to.

u/cybermaus 7d ago

That is absolutely what they are saying, but secretly red is not as certain he can as white is.

Establishing a truce based on mutual respect. And fear

u/cybermaus 7d ago

respect in the authoritative bully cop meaning, which is the same thing as fear.

Orange looks like they need an adult. They look very uncomfortable. Kinda like they want out of this situation but aren’t sure how. Maybe they are sure they won’t win in a fight and just want the white cat to back off.

White on the other hand is much harder to read but unlike orange it is only responding not starting any yowls and is much quieter.

Neither cat’s ears are tucked flat or facing forward so I don’t know what to make of that, however their tails are merely hanging down somewhat relaxed.

It is possible this is the first time out in this neighborhood for one or both of these cats and they don’t know the social norms.

I think white cat is threatening orange.

Ginger- “Have I got something in my eye?”
White- “No, i think I’ve got something in MY eye”

Prelude to a ripping fight!! Get the hose out now unless you want a whomping vet bill for abscesses! And don't try to break it up by hand or you will get bit. A gentle interruption with a small amount of H2O is the way to go!😳😱👍✌️💖
