    This posture–backs to one another– seems to be normal for cats (though Alex and The Lady may adopt it more often than usual). Do you have any idea whether it functions adaptively, MEC? For example, as a means of looking out in all directions for enemies.

    It might be mutual defense, Charles. I haven’t seen an explanation for it.

  4. That would work. It signals kitty trust, I suspect.
