Yes, the pleasure it gives you when they show affection is silly really! Jagger always looks at you as though to say "is it okay if I get on the bed/footstool?" - and also looks to Hendrix for permission. For him to just jump up on my lap when Hendrix was on the footstool was an absolute first. Even Hendrix was surprised. He became really subdued when Hendrix was taking his angst out on him, so I'm hoping that's over now. They play together again and its so lovely to watch them - and a relief to see them both happier again and Hendrix less jumpy!
Unfortunately the cat is still around and is very aggressive - whereas my two aren't fighters at all. Jagger just faces off any cat invading his territory, he's never actually got into a fight as far as I know. However, I had to rescue him from the grey cat recently as well. And the cat was having a big poo on our lawn to show his total disrespect for Jagger. He runs when he sees me though as I've got him with a water pistol a couple of times.
I know it was him as Hendrix will attempt to stand up to other cats and isn't bothered if they chase him home, but as soon as he sees him, he's on his belly and slinking off to hide, literally petrified.
