Hello, I’m Dr. Karyn! Learn my introduction to be taught extra about me and meet my 5 hilarious cats: Clutch, Cyril, Alex, Zelda, and Zazzles.
Within the winter of 2019, for some cause that continues to be identified solely to him, Husband determined that 4 cats weren’t fairly sufficient and that our already relatively busy family was in want of a ginger. Enter Alex, named in reminiscence of one other little ginger cat referred to as Axel, who was sadly struck by a automobile a number of years prior, which is simply another reason why we go in opposition to the ‘norm’ right here within the UK and maintain our cats indoors.
As you’ll count on, the opposite cats had been a bit cautious at first. Effectively, besides Clutch, as a result of we’re but to seek out something that phases him. Whereas it took our feminine felines, Zelda and Zazzles, slightly longer to heat up, Cyril had determined by the tip of day one which Alex was to be his squishy, to be cherished and cherished from that day on.
Earlier than lengthy, Cyril and Alex found that they’d many issues in widespread, together with a deep affection for meals, a worrying habit to catnip, and a shared propensity for mendacity in bizarre positions.
Then It Will get A Little Bizarre…
Firstly, let me be clear; I’m not one to forged judgment on anybody’s gender, orientation, or who they select to like (offering each are consenting adults, in fact). However Alex and Cyril’s relationship has advanced over time from certainly one of paternal or brotherly like to one thing slightly bit totally different. Nearly each evening, they have interaction in a sport of chase and wrestling, which invariably finally ends up with one gripping the scruff of the opposite and interesting in some behaviors that might ordinarily consequence within the creation of kittens. After all, with two neutered male cats, that is extremely unlikely to eventuate.
Now, it’s common for cats of both intercourse, neutered or complete, to hump each other occasionally. It could be a type of gratification, however typically, it’s a show of dominance. What I discover unusual about Alex and Cyril’s little trysts is that they don’t present every other indicators of dominance battle and that it is a nightly occasion, usually culminating in a squishy cuddle. Fairly frankly, I’ve often felt inclined to supply them a post-coital cigarette.
However hey, love is love, and on this Valentine’s Day, we should always be pleased about love in all its many shapes and kinds.
