I almost forgot to post about our little Kedgie v Hercules incident. The dogs were bringing the tennis ball to me, in the kitchen, and by that I mean Hercules was waiting for me to kick the ball, while Athena prowled the far perimeter in case anything came her way. I kicked, Herc lunged, and someone yelped --I looked at Athena, and she was looking down at her paw, or on the floor next to her paw. I was just starting to move to Athena when Kedgie came marching in, stood up, wrapped her front paws around Herc, and bit his neck. Of course, he didn't really feel anything, but I was going "Hey! Hey!" at Kedge, who let go and glared at him. She then stomped back to the bedroom, and Herc ran upstairs, thinking that I was yelling at him.
It was so surreal. The last time any of my cats did that, it was Cinder attacking Stripey any time she thought her sister was hollering. Poor Stripes! He was the dominant cat, and Cinder wanted to be number one, so she would attack him like a troll or a moray eel, coming out from under the bed or couch to holler and swat.
Kedgie has never shown this kind of protective attitude before, which is why I am so surprised.
