Smokey and Sylvester start playing and then one of them get too rough. That’s what happened here. Sylvester jumped up on the back of Mark’s truck but Smokey can’t get to him because Smokey doesn’t jump. Sylvester is lean and mean, so he doesn’t have any trouble.
Smokey stared at him for a while like he was going to get him, but when Sylvester jumped down, Smokey ran.
It’s interesting that Smokey doesn’t jump. They sure are cute together!
It was exactly the same in our household (when we had two cats). They would tussle, then Maxine (the young, lithe cat) would jump up on a windowsill or table and Doppler (the old, creaky, n0n-jumpng cat) would sit below and stare–daring Maxine to even think of coming back down.
Robin — We don’t know whether Smokey is older, overweight (some), or just too lazy to jump.
Scott — Smokey and Sylvester used to just jump on the other cats, but now it seems like they’re jumping on each other more.
