Teifi

More unusual is that Big Cat has a Billy Goat type of personality. He hisses at almost everything and every one, he's known for his awfull grumpy moods, he's the biggest cat in the neighbourhood and the Boss, and the sight of him rescueing a kitten was quite a surprise.

Soon it will be time for a break-up (milk pause) for Teifi, isnt'it ?

32C does not make for very active pictures of Teifi.

A few days over 4 months old, he's getting big. Pretty soon he will be the Big Cat.

I like when Teifi stretches himself!

It gives me a feeling of quiet and relax, and that makes me think "Oh, here is the one who has no problems in this world!"

True. This really is a nice thread.

Ow... he has problems.

Things don't always go his way. The 3 neighbour cats are all crossing the balcony walking on the top of the rail and he can't chase their tail as he likes (for now). He doesn't understand why i make cheese sandwiches for myself when i know he hates it and prefers ham and he voices his protest on the matter with a special meow.

Teifi is a very intelligent cat capable of understanding several words, in 2 languages. Food, milk, pate, accompanied by "do you want?" are of no problem for him.

However i don't seem able to teach him some sentences.

"Teifi, you're in my way"

"You need to get out of the way"

"Please, Get ooout of the way"

"Ooouut of the way"

"Teifi, out, ooout of the way"

No success. Curiously enough if the refrigerator is being open to refill his food ormilk plate he knows not to even be in the way to start with.[/i]

PFVA, he is saying in his felinine mothertongue "You get out of my way, the refrigerator is mine"!

I thought maybe he was understanding "play" instead of "way".

With the characteristic "meow" and the decisive walking Teifi says "Follow me"

And i follow the straight up tail

I see. Food compartments on the tray are at a dangerous low level.

When he knows his food is at this level he "orders" me to follow him to refill it and of course i go get more. He's careful not to obstruct the way to the refrigerator and then he guides me back carrying the food to his tray.

And i follow the periscopic tail again

"In here."
"yes, sir."

Angry Meooowwww "Why are you taking so long?" Meooow "Stop taking pictures and place my food down"

(He has no sense of humour about his food)

A few minutes a full belly Teifi

Anything Big Cat does fascinates Teifi

The Sleeping Contortionist

As Big Cat visits for a nap Teifi as usual fascinated with his tail decides to play a bit. As Big Cat opens his eyes and stretches his paw Teifi retreats

and shows a concentrated interest in his personnal hygiene

A few minutes later as Big Cat goes back to sleep

(The little hill behind Big Cat back is Teifi, with its tail hanging out to the left)

I went to have my coffee and left them to sort their social relations by themselves. When i came back they seemed ti have reached an agreement

And a bit later a closer agreement was worked out.
