Another week, another Feline Friday, even when I called in sick all week.

Today’s lesson: Cats are pretty territorial. Here’s a small example. When I went out on the deck yesterday afternoon to get a few feline fotos, Romeo was down in the yard. He quickly saw me and came running to the stairs. That sent both Duke and Annie into defensive positions at the top of the stairs, ready to block any intruder. It was an interesting standoff. Romeo, who is currently the Alpha Cat in the household, had to climb the stairs slowly and ever so cautiously, putting on deferential body language to be let through the defensive perimeter.

When Romeo is in the upper position, he is even more aggressive at checking out all comers, including the cats he’s lived with since moving into our house back about seven years ago.

Interesting….
