I’ve been known to sing that song to Gus. He told me to keep my day job (which is serving the cats). Here is what’s going on this week. Gus and Sasha have a sort of truce/friendship. She doesn’t snarl at him and he does his best to look submissive when she gets bitchy. However he will give her a smack down if necessary. Gracie taught him that. 
Here he is a few minutes later feeling mighty good about himself!
I’d say he’s doing just fine!
Everyone here wishes you all a great weekend and for those of you in the US, have a great Labor Day weekend!

Morgan did the same thing with Jake. She would defer to him at the beginning. Then when she was sure we weren’t taking her back, she stood her ground but always respectfully. Jake was an old cat at that point.

I think he’s happy here. He comes up to snuggle in the evening although he is not a fan of getting picked up. He doesn’t claw anything except the carpet. All good.

He is not at all an alpha cat preferring to avoid conflict but he’s not a doormat either.

I didn’t realize it was Labor Day weekend until yesterday. Half the neighbors are going away, so there won’t be a big celebration. Hope you have a great weekend.
I always enjoy your posts about the cats.

Labor Day always sneaks up on me. I’m enjoying the summer and bam, it’s over! The weather is going to be great. Not too hot and no rain. I’ll get to see some friends hopefully. I enjoy giving you your “cat fix.”

Yes! Love that cat fix! I missed the cat that walks with us this morning. If she sees us, she runs up to be petted and walks with us for a little while.

Sasha is always ready to rumble. This week she has been especially “rumbly” going after all the cats at different times. Even Morgan who is twice as tall had to smack her down. Not sure what’s going on with her but I’m trying to give her more attention.

Could just be some misdirected crankiness over the addition of Gus. You are a pro at figuring out cat dynamics. She will settle.
LikeLiked by 1 person
That’s what I think it is. She is used to being the center of attention and she’s not happy when she isn’t. If Gus sits on my lap, she will race over and almost lay on top of him in an effort to fit on my lap. That’s 26 lbs. of cat. I need a bigger lap.
