Animal behaviour

[azziria]

Under Milly's influence Max has reverted to kittenhood. However, having a 4 kilo (9 lb) 'kitten' thundering around the house isn't exactly restful...

Milly, however, has no concept whatsoever that she weighs almost exactly one quarter of what her brother weighs. But apart from the odd indignant squeak when he thumps on top of her a bit too enthusiastically she seems to be coping fine with the size differential. And when we gave Max some chicken at teatime she marched straight in and scoffed the lot, while Max sat next to her and watched. It's not clear whether he was (a)holding off from stunned disbelief at her audacity, (b) being a complete gentleman, or (c) finally learning his place in the grand scheme of things...

Really, it's better than TV :-)

Sooooo cute! Max loves her, so he gave her his chicken. No question.

1. It may amuse you to know that my emergency back-up dog--the one that's full-grown--weighs exactly 4 kilos. Oddly, when we lived in NY, the most I could get him to weigh was about 3.25; we moved to Texas, he shot up to 4 even and stayed there.

2. My newest addition, a 1 kilo tinykitten with a broken leg, likes to play with Sophie. Who is up to 40kg this week.

3. Animals are hilarious.

It is amazing how cats allow kittens to get away with such shenanigans, but it sure is fun to watch. *g*
