unofficial poll - kitty names

[faeriemage]

Minnie's "given" name is Mini Mouse. I'm thinking that since Phinnie's full name is Phineas, that Minnie's full name should be Minimaüs

the neck biting might also be a dominance thing. if she's not making any noise in protest, she's very likely submitting to his dominance. which, um, probably a good thing since he's the senior cat in the house. ;)

if she's still young, 'd get her spayed asap. if you've ever been around a cat in heat... lordsy lordsy, it is NO FUN AT ALL. ugh. SHUT UP, KITTY.

also, minimaus ftw!!

+1 on spay asap. No fun -and- bad for her health--since she won't come back -out- of heat until she's bred.

My cats do that a lot, too (re: neck biting)

I'm leaning more in the direction of dominant behavior. I think sr cat is reminding jr cat of her place.

Minnie is 2.5 years old, as is Phinnie. well, there may be a 3 month diff in age, but who's counting? The previous owners said that they can't ever tell when she goes into heat. She has already had a litter of kittehs. SO GLAD Phinnie has no bits. All he does is sit there and latch onto her neck. All night long. All morning long. oy.,.

It's a dominence thing, All of my cats do it. And all of my cats were spayed & neutered before sexually aware. Stitch was done at 2 months and so he never had that and he does that to all the cats in the house if he can get away with it but he's been here the longest and he's the big man here!
