What Are My Animals Doing?

Very important question.

So Max (my big male cat) and Leo (my little male dog) have this little game they play, where Max pins Leo down and then starts biting on his neck, vampire-style. Like, Max opens his mouth wide and sinks his teeth into Leo’s neck and just keeps them there. To the point where I find myself vaguely concerned that Max is going to give Leo a hicky. This behavior has gone on for several days. Leo doesn’t seem to mind — sometimes he swats a little at Max, but mostly he just stays very still and, when Max lets go, he jumps up to play again. I have tried to get photos but I’m never near a camera when they do it. Does anyone know what this behavior indicates? I’ve never seen a cat do this to another animal before. Max also sometimes bites Leo’s ears. Leo does mind this, and he squeals, and then Max realizes he’s crossed a line and stops.

But Leo seems to have developed an allegiance to Max. When Max and Josie (the girl cat) were in a brawl earlier today (a serious hissing brawl — the two of them are in a love triangle with Ashley that’s been causing problems for years, long story), Leo jumped up, barked, and ran to Max’s side, then circled him to make sure he was okay. It was very sweet.

Oh, and here are the first pics of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby.

    Is the picture your copyright or can I use it on my blog?
