Ups and Downs...

 

Yesterday, there was a good amount of "refereeing"... not speaking of sports.  Stepping between kitties.  Mostly noise.  Neither trying to be hurtful.

And then, this morning...

 Downright sweet.  Of course, that will change in a few minutes.  Then, a moment of play, followed by hissing.  But, no running, nothing aggressive.  The perspective is interesting in that image above: Stella is closer to the camera, so she doesn't look so small.  When you see them side by side, Murph is so much bigger.

I have to laugh as he approaches her: super slow motion.  She will roll onto her side, exposing her belly... "baiting"him to come closer, then the ears go flat followed by a hiss.  Murph will look at me quizzically and say, "I didn't do nuthin'!"

"Can you do nothing a little further away from her?" I ask.

Mutter, mutter, mutter.
