After Ms. Kili died two years ago, Romeo and Duke started being buddies. Feline Friday regulars will be familiar with photos of The Boys just hanging out together.

Well, it’s now gone to a new and weird level.

Romeo has started kneading on Duke, like a kitten will knead on its mother. This is accompanied by Romeo softly biting Duke’s neck while he paddles away on him. It’s not really a bite. He’s really just hanging on. And it leaves little dried spit spots on Duke’s neck and back. It took me a while to figure out that those were connected to Romeo’s kneading sessions.

Is this some kind of kinky cat sex thing? Romeo never transitions to trying to hump Duke, but the kneading obviously feels good. Duke just seems to put up with it for a short while before breaking up the scene. I don’t know whether to discourage Romeo from this behavior or just let the two of them work it out.

I’ve posted a sample video below.
