They didn't argue or fuss at all last night. No barking either. Maybe they are past that stage of proving who is most dominant? I hope so. It is so fun when they are loving toward each other and much less stressful for me - the worrier.
I got up when it was still dark and sat with them. They both showed no fear and little caution as they came close to check me out and crawl on my arm and hand. I tried the tsst sound when one started to nibble my fingers and she stopped what she was doing but wasn't afraid.
Maybe that is the magic sound to tell them "no, that's too rough". Cro was making the tsst sound now and then when he interacted with them last night, which is what gave me the idea to try it.
They had me smiling as I watched them play and interact with each other with only a few tsst! sounds from one to the other when things got a little too rowdy.
Buddy Cat was sitting on their habitat again this morning as if to proclaim himself King of the Mountain. The photo is showing the red light, which I left off last night so they would come out and play.

ReplyDeleteThey can hear your "tsst" loud and clear.
