3445.0. "Wonders Never Cease!" by ROYALT::MORRISSEY (You have chosen....poorly) Wed Mar 21 1990 09:29

    
    	Well I never thought I'd see the day but it finally happened.
    
    	Sasha and Chloe were laying on the couch with us last night.
    	We've been trying to put them together for a long time because
    	they just can't seem to get along.  Well it usually lasts for a
    	few minutes, Chloe will growl and Sasha will either swat at
    	her or just get down.  
    
    	BUT!  Last night Chloe was sleeping and Sasha was laying next
    	to her.  All of a sudden she gets up and starts to sniff at
    	Chloe's head AND THEN STARTS TO CLEAN HER!  She got about
    	4 licks in before Chloe woke up and growled.  Then Sasha 
    	stopped.  If Chloe would stop growling every time Sasha comes
    	near her I think this process would be a lot quicker.  Sasha
    	likes to play rough and I think that what Cary and I thought
    	was her lashing out was her way of trying to get Chloe to
    	play with her.  Sasha does the same to Duke and to Brandi
    	(when Brandi lets her)
    
    	Anyway, Cary and I see this as a triumph and hopefully a
    	step towards them becoming friends.

    I have a different situation.
    
    Zildjian has her favorite chair.  When Spunks is sleeping there,
    Zildjian will jump up and start washing Spunks ears.  Now, Zildjian is
    the unfriendly one, Spunks usually just sits there or goes away. 
    Zildjian is washing Spunks real nice and easy, then she starts washing
    harder and harder (you can tell cuz Spunks will squint but she just
    lays there).  Finally Zildjian starts being real mean and biting.
    
    The purpose of this - Zildjian wants her chair back and uses psychology
    until it doesn't work then figures by being mean to Spunks, Spunks will
    get up.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I watch and if
    Zildjian gets real mean, I talk to her and she usually jumps off the
    chair knowing I disapprove of what she is doing.  She is a smart cat,
    tho.
