Our bossy alpha cat is around 5 pounds and is the boss of the other two cats, but she's a lover of all humans and loves it when random strangers show up, genearally making a fuss and demanding their rubs. She met a toddler for the first time a couple days ago, and this was also the toddler's first time meeting a cat. The toddler has a puppy at home about two times the size of him and still growing. Here's how it went:
Toddler: (seeing cat) Ah! Ah ha ha ha!
Cat: (seeing toddler) What? Cool! Humans come this small?
Toddler: Ha, ha, ha! (pets cat)
Cat: Hey... I like you!
Toddler: Ah ha ha ha! (pets cat)
Cat: I like you so much! Purr, pur, purr!
Toddler (while mounting cat) Ah ha, ah ha ha!
Cat: Uh... What are you doing?
Toddler's Mom: Oh, you shouldn't do that. You have to be gentle.
Toddler (while humping cat) He he he!
Cat: You're humping me... and I like it! Purr, purr.
Toddler (gets up, remounts cat) Wee hee hee!
Cat: This is most odd... but please continue!
Toddler (Continuing to hump cat) Ha, ha ha!
Cat: Ah not bad!
Toddler's Mother: Now don't be too rough
Toddler: (gets off cat, looking sheepish for humping cat)
Cat: Hey... could you please hump me some more? No, seriously. Here's my butt.
Me: Isn't that weird? She likes it!
Cat: Yes I do!
Toddler: (Sits on cat) Ha, ha!
Toddler's Mother: But he's being so rough!
Me: Isn't that weird?
Toddler's mother: I wish she'd scratch him so he'd learn that not all animals are nice.
Me: (watching the toddler hump my cat) Well, I don't think that's going to happen. She likes it!
Toddler: (getting up) Ha, ha, ha! (kicking cat)
Me: Nooo. You shouldn't kick the cat.
Cat: No... no! I like this. Don't make him stop!
Toddler's mom: You can't kick the kitty. That's not nice. Just because we're at Melanie's house doesn't mean there's no time out.
Me: That's right.
Toddler: (makes embarrassed face due to being "bad," leaves the room)
Cat: (Following toddler out of the room) Hey wait! It's okay, you can sit on me! Come on! Sit on me! Be rough with me! Waaaait!
My cat followed him around for the entire visit, practically begging for the toddler to abuse her, and afterward, she acted weird for the two days following this visit, like she was looking for someone... I think she's in love or something.
