Hatchet Head aka Socks & Kamere: Two cats that HATE eachother

[graywarrior]

Thirty seconds after taking these pics, they were KILLING eachother.

1. I think our cats are twins!

Kamere looks so much like Sebastian I always have to look twice.



How are the kitties doing? Are they driving you bonkers?

[graywarrior]

4. Yipes!

Kamere weighs about 14 lbs. What size is Sebastian. Man, he's a beauty.

[VenusRising]

8. He was 13 pounds the last vet visit.

Those are two big cats.

[graywarrior]

12. I can hardly pick Kamere up and carry him around anymore.

14. That looks like my Jeff. Gray ring-tailed Tabby.

Except Jeff weighs 18lbs., the last time he was at the vet in October. He has the tan belly and black paws

15. They all have that look

Like they're surprised we've lived this long.

[Ikonoklast]

18. I'm fairly certain that if felines had evolved with an opposable thumb,

the reign of primates on this planet would have been a fairly short one.



Missy and Mu giving me the willies.

"What do you think the big ugly monkey tastes like, Mu?"
"I dunno, Missy, but it looks like there's enough of him for both of us."

19. Cats plan such evil deeds

Like all 4 of them using only one cat box within minutes of eachother when there are 5 of them throughout the house. Why?

And....puking at the most inconvenient times....did I say puking? I meant PROJECTILE VOMITING!

[VenusRising]

17. What a beautiful boy!

Those eyes are just gorgeous. I'm sure he knows it, and reminds you of it often.

Mine does.

22. Here's Mutt-Mutt, Jeff's littermate.

He's bigger than Jeff, and twice as much a big baby, too. They both have the sweetest dispositions and are instant purring machines.

2. Must be something to do with the body language.

Are there any cat-body-language experts here?

5. Look at the last picture where they are staring at each other

Thats a pretty good sign a fight is about to occur...

[kentauros]

7. I guess we would need to know who started the staring first.

Who was offended first?

[TZ]

9. Judging by what I see

The tabby got tense first....Went from a very relaxed position on his back to on his side....

[graywarrior]

11. Yep, that's how it went down.

[graywarrior]

10. Hatchet Head gets an attitude first

He's nasty and mean....former street cat.

[TZ]

3. I bet it was noisy too...

[graywarrior]

6. Hatchet Head howls

Kamere hisses. They really get into it.

[trof]

13. We have a next-door-cat who is also a tuxedo.

Simon.
He's in Miz t.'s lap right now.
He and the orange tabby, Big Red, spend as much time here as they do next door.
Sometimes Red sleeps over, so we keep a litter box and food down.
Next door pets are THE best.

[graywarrior]

16. Hatchet Head used to be a next door cat

apparently it was too noisy over there so he kept coming over here.

[trof]

20. Happily both cats eventually ask to be let out.

And they go home.
I guess?
I really don't know where they go.
Simon usually stays for about 30 minutes.
Red will show up in the morning and spend the day asleep on the couch or on a dining room chair.
OK, it's the dining 'area'.
Part of a 'great room' that serves pretty much whatever purpose it needs to.
I like 'great rooms'.

They have two little girls at home.
I think they make Red nervous, so he hides out here until their bedtime.
Simon is oblivious.
He also has a 90 degree bend in his tail. Looks like he's always signaling for a left turn.
Never seen that before.
I thought it got slammed in a door when he was a kitten. His vet says it's likely that the umbilical cord got wrapped around it and that's what did it.
Simon doesn't care.
Doesn't bother him in the slightest.

God, I do run on.

whew

21. Socks hates everyone and everything

He snarls, hisses, howls, and tap dances on the tiled kitchen floor. He's a whacko...the other cats walk ten feet around him, watching his every move. If I squirt him to get him off the counter, he looks for another cat to hiss at or attack...like the pecking hen order.
