Hello, I’m Dr. Karyn! Learn my introduction to study extra about me and meet my 5 hilarious cats: Clutch, Cyril, Alex, Zelda, and Zazzles.
Within the winter of 2019, for some purpose that is still recognized solely to him, Husband determined that 4 cats weren’t fairly sufficient and that our already quite busy family was in want of a ginger. Enter Alex, named in reminiscence of one other little ginger cat known as Axel, who was sadly struck by a automobile a number of years prior, which is simply another reason why we go towards the ‘norm’ right here within the UK and preserve our cats indoors.
As you’ll anticipate, the opposite cats had been a bit cautious at first. Properly, besides Clutch, as a result of we’re but to search out something that phases him. Whereas it took our feminine felines, Zelda and Zazzles, somewhat longer to heat up, Cyril had determined by the top of day one which Alex was to be his squishy, to be liked and cherished from that day on.
Earlier than lengthy, Cyril and Alex found that that they had many issues in widespread, together with a deep affection for meals, a worrying habit to catnip, and a shared propensity for mendacity in bizarre positions.
Then It Will get A Little Bizarre…
Firstly, let me be clear; I’m not one to solid judgment on anybody’s gender, orientation, or who they select to like (offering each are consenting adults, after all). However Alex and Cyril’s relationship has developed over time from certainly one of paternal or brotherly like to one thing somewhat bit totally different. Virtually each night time, they have interaction in a recreation of chase and wrestling, which invariably finally ends up with one gripping the scruff of the opposite and interesting in some behaviors that will ordinarily outcome within the creation of kittens. After all, with two neutered male cats, that is extremely unlikely to eventuate.
Now, it’s commonplace for cats of both intercourse, neutered or whole, to hump each other on occasion. It might be a type of gratification, however normally, it’s a show of dominance. What I discover unusual about Alex and Cyril’s little trysts is that they don’t present some other indicators of dominance battle and that it is a nightly occasion, sometimes culminating in a squishy cuddle. Fairly frankly, I’ve sometimes felt inclined to supply them a post-coital cigarette.
However hey, love is love, and on this Valentine’s Day, we must always be thankful for love in all its many shapes and varieties.
