It always melts my heart when he gives her a bath. She seems to really love it and lays there with her eyes closed letting him groom her but then she suddenly hisses and gives him a bop on the head! What's that all about? Poor Leo always looks so offended and hurt when she does that lol! :001_unsure:

Molly does that with Manny ....... she will be quite happily grooming away, then suddenly she has had enough and grabs him round the neck and a bundle begins!! He looks at her as if to say 'make your mind up!!'

Aww, Jt washes Archie all the time too. (Jt female)
He gently nips her and she stops, still makes me laugh every time :lol:

Sometimes when Byron is grooming Charlie, he will lick lick lick and then suddenly nibble. After the second or third nibble, Charlie will either bop Byron or move to, as I can tell the nibble is not exactly gentle. In our case, I believe this is because Byron is the 'dominant' one and is trying to put Charlie in his place--not sure why or how really as Charlie is definitely NOT trying to usurp him! (I have noticed the few times Byron has let Charlie groom him, Charlie NEVER nibbles!!)

Huh, so not only my cats do that! I was afraid it meant they still did not like each other (after a year and a bit together, with variably peaceful times).

Might it be a case of "Not now you fool the humans are watching, we must never let them think we are happy with each others company or they will go out and leave us for longer!!"

:ihih:
