Kitty Smackdown

My big-beautiful-Bob and the killer princess Muffin are not pleased with the presence of the little squirt Oreo in the house.

Bob stomps around growling deep in his throat and avoids the house except to eat and get a lil lovin' from the mistress (me). Muffin prefers the cold silent mean-girl stare. All the while, little happy-go-lucky Oreo continues to play, jump, and pounce, pretty much ignoring the cranky old folk.

Except when we have:

Every so often, the Bob'a'Muff team delivers a spanking to the little guy, who, like a good little kitten, rolls over and assumes the submissive "I'm just a tiny little baby" position. They raise their paws and give him a quick smack-smack-smack, then run away.

It seems to be a standard ritual and they all play their part. He doesn't seem very afraid, and someday I'm sure he'll smack them back. (That is, if we keep him, of course, which we're clearly not thinking of doing.)

That little Oreo has a lot of whiskers!

I'll take him, put him in a box and FedEx him to Texas...

oh my gosh, he's so cute it makes me want to start blogging about kitties again! Must. Resist. Urge.

Oh my, Oreo is so CUTE! I have witnessed this same kitty behavior before. It's almost as if the older cats are thinking, "Yes you're cute and I don't like it! Quit being so cute!"
