Wendy, as you can see there are a lot of people here and keeping people straight can be confusing. I notice though you write Wendy in the name field you sign off as W. There is a W already posting on this group and this signature of yours may be confusing. Just a thought.
: When I first got Furby back in December, I accepted the fact
: that Merlin, my siamese cat, was going to be a concern,
: consequently, I always keep a close eye on the both of them
: whenever they're in a room together. After the first week
: or two, both have been able to co-exist in my lap at
: night while I watch T.V. with no problems. Merlin is
: definitely aware of Furby, in fact each night they start off
: with a small mutual nose sniffing thing, but then they both
: settle down, Merlin to his napping and Furby to his snacking. : Anyway, last night the most amazing thing happened. First
: off, Furby got it in his head he wanted to groom Merlin's
: back, which amazingly, Merlin tolerated until Furby nibbled
: once, just a bit too hard. : Then it gets better; Merlin starts thrashing his tail and
: Furby began chasing it. He would dance around, jump up,
: catch it in both arms, hold it down as best he could, and
: groom it a bit until Merlin whipped it out of his grasp and
: they'd do it all again. Believe me, the cat knew exactly
: what was going on. He almost seemed to be enjoying it.
: This went on for several minutes. My husband and I just
: sat there and shook our heads in complete amazement. : Merlin is different from most cats, in that he has always
: enjoyed what my husband affectionately calls, "the tail
: game", this is where my husband yanks and pulls on his tail
: and the cat digs his claws into the carpet or couch and hangs
: on for dear life. So, this looked to us to be another version
: of the "tail game". What absolutely amazes me is that a
: 9 year old male cat is allowing an animal that in the wild
: would be considered lunch, play with his tail. : ~W~
