I told MJ Sunday evening, "I don't think Stumpy is sure about Dash. He runs straight across the room for the stairs every time he comes in."
She says, "He's sure about him. He hates him."
Stumpy does NOT like to be "obstructed." When he comes in, which is about 15 to 25 times a day, he wants to do what HE wants to do. Like check his bowl, check the other cat's bowls, see if any of them are sleeping in any of his spots, sit next to them until they leave, smack them if they don't get the message to leave voluntarily, go find out if any others are in any other of his spots, zoom up the stairs and spend the day (well, an hour or two) sleeping on MJ's pillow, or just come in one door and meow at the other ~ he does NOT want to be snagged on the way by the couch and picked up and petted.
He glares, impolitely, when that happens. While he's getting what should be good nuggies his eyes are turning yellow and his tail starts to thump. Then he'll bang on the door to come in, the next time, but won't come in until you go out and get him, and promise that "that guy" is gone.
He's very.......sensitive. Like his Dad.
