After 10 days in the spare room my new 6 month old kitty Pink was allowed
out in the house yesterday to integrate with her 2 older brothers Teal'c and
Thor. She was the usual playful kitten - all teeth and claws until she met
Teal'c. While Thor hissed and generally didn't want anything to do with her
Teal'c just followed her about and generally hung around  touching noses and
being friendly which was nice but he's a sweetie so almost expected.

What I didn't expect is that last night when having a play with Pink she was
sheathing her claws and just using her pads to grip my hands towards her
face for a head-rub instead of using claws to try and get them into her
mouth for a chomp. This is exactly how Teal'c plays, he never uses his claws
either with me or Thor. I don't remember seeing Teal'c and Pink play
fighting yesterday - she's still a bit wary anyway, it's almost as if Teal'c
has told her not to use claws. Unlikely I know but what a co-incidence for
her to change that aspect so suddenly.
