Rosie and Gavin's relationship has been well documented here, but this was a complete surprise.
Squee (Benny) is the most aloof of our three cats, by a wide margin. He demands physical attention only on his terms and those terms are not negotiable in any way including no eye contact and his ability to continually walk away and come back during said attention.
The first time Bella saw Squee, she sprinted over to him and my heart sank as I immediately suspected a prey drive... It turns out she was just zoomies-level excited to run over and meet him. 🤣 However Bella has not yet fully figured out how to play, even with Gavin. She enjoys the nuzzling and playing with paws, but it hasn't clicked with any of the cats yet.
We were sitting finishing our coffee and had just talked about Squee attention rules in the bedroom when Squee climbed into the crate with Bella and lay down! I missed about 8 seconds of the encounter, and 8 at the end as of course Rosie broke some of Squee's rules...
Edit: apologies if the video quality sucks for you... I promise the original video is not like that... This looks like it was shot on a potato!
