Interesting about Rascal and Mayhem, and definitely some similarities here. Perhaps the other way around at times, but along the same lines.
Oddly Chongo has oft been a little withdrawn when he watches Monte play some of the games Chongo does and certainly isn't happy that Monte enjoys some of the same toys. It's at times a little rough for Chongo as he is having some confidence issues about the servants catering to someone else. No issues at all with just the two of them, but add a third party and Chongo either gets angry or walks off sulking.
The latest bit has been Chongo really asserting himself to what is his, and when he is going to command interaction with Trish or I. He'll grab a toy to play fetch, and drop it between the launcher person and Monte. Pretty much a dare for Monte to grab it, and if the little guy does, it's a growl drawing a line. Nothing has escalated to date, and Monte always seems to heed warnings from the other cats. At the same time, Monte always wants to find out exactly where that line is.
