Regie doesn't look all too happy...

At the time, Unknown to me, Regie had an upset tummy. He vomited yesterday evening and now today is a crazy boy again. Chasing Kiki all around the house. I think he just ate way too much... he was scarfing canned and raw.

I'm glad he feels better! Beautiful photos of them Cary!

 

[Carykd7kau]

Thank you Trishy.

I have noticed, Regulus seems to put his ears to the side when dealing with me, or when he is being submissive to Kilifi. They are forward when he is being dominant or playing . Does this mean he considers me to be the Alpha?? Kilifi does NOT. LOL

Mine put their ears that way when play attacking and taunting each other and also when they are looking at one thing but trying to keep track of what's around them. Usually the other one trying to sneak up behind them. Full forward when they are giving something their full attention and they are really focused. He may just be looking at you and listening for Kilifi, or it may be as you say for him. I do enjoy watching mine and figuring out their body language in a given situation.

I LOVE Regie's ears and the color of his eyes!

Mine go back and down like jet plane wings ( Airplane ears ) when they are "ready to rumble". To the side and out when submissive and forward and up when just being a kitty.

He does have some honking' ears.

I usually consider ears back (like in the pics you posted) as a sign of annoyance; if any further back or flatter it could be a sign of aggression. Here is an interesting site talking about body (ear positioning) language: http://kitticraft.com/cat-body-language-ears/
and another site with pics: http://messybeast.com/images/cat-chat1.png
