Something strange, (to me) happened a little while back when I let my 4 kits integrate with 2 adult males. In the group of 4 there are 2 whole boys & 2 males from MF's. One of the 2 adults I had thought would try to kill the kits because that was his (Sam's) attitude towards the other adults except for his life long buddy Max. I had been trying to keep the kits from these 2 but this one day they out maneuvered me & got into the bathroom. They ran all over Sam who was sleeping & woke him up & I am thinking there will be blood all over the place. Strangely enough Sam just looked perplexed & then decided to investigate them. Didn't raise a whisker towards them. That was strange enough but what happened next had me standing there with my mouth wide open. They found Max who was asleep in his box & woke him up. Then one of the whole boys laid down flat & was very quiet for a few minutes. Then he got up & started rubbing his face & the side of his body along Max. He kept this up for a few minutes & then laid quiet next to him for a few more minutes. By this time his brother found them & he did the same thing with Max! Rubbed himself on Max & laid quiet next to him. Then they were both rubbing on him & next to him. They are not 4 months old yet & it didn't look like anything sexual, but what in the heck were they doing? They have never done this with any of the other males & the 2 MF"s kits didn't do this. I should say that both Max & Sam are MF's boys so are neutered. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before or does anyone know why the kits did that? I am just curious. Many Thanks lrs [Posted in FML issue 2816]
