The tomcat Trouble was the biggest kitten of four. He was the most aggressive to get at his small mother's nipples. As a neutered house cat tomcat he's a nice fellow. Here we see him laid out in front of the bride's den while in the lower left his much smaller mother Mister Mittens off the street approaches just to kick his ass with paw swats to the face and nasty play bites to his throat. I know that he could tear his mother apart if he wanted to and no doubt kill her but he knows Mom and his gonads are in a landfill. He just lays back for a good mauling from Mom with his eyes closed. They'll groom each other and snuggle later on.



The little Sweet Babycakes (Shiloh) may have been the runt of the litter but her curiosity and heart get her to go most everywhere she can. Nobody's had a shower in the new shower at my house but she jumped in to look around while on the alert in new surroundings.

Trouble is blocking the doorway to Mrs. 1/4's pole den. Probably, Mr. Mittens interprets this as an "aggressive territorial" maneuver.

Mr Mittens takes no "guff from anyone" and continues to show Trouble just who IS the boss...his Mom

Shiloh is just a sweet, smart cat...seems to have inherited Mr Mittens' bravo personality.
