Bottom cat: Any other time, I would fuck you up, but right now, I get it.

Our guinea pigs do the same thing.

Any other time and they don’t get so close together. In the vet’s office they take turns crawling under each other.

“Mounting” is dominance behavior among guinea pigs regardless of sex. If a guinea pig climbs on top of another one, it’s saying, “I’m the boss”. So it’s kind of amusing in a sad way to see the behavior change from trying to establish dominance to trying to force the other one to establish dominance.

“You’re the boss!”

“No, you’re the boss!”

My cats are good at the vets, they just get a bit frightened when being put in the cage. But when they get there, they’re very well behaved.

Luckily for them, the local vets office is a 5 minute drive away so they’re never locked up too long.

My vet is within walking distance and almost all cats would still yodle me the song of their people.
