So I invested in 'Da Bird' for my two fluffers. Cat (the 3 y/o spayed female) went nuuuuuts. She will knock over the 10 month old to get to it (which is a role reversal for my 2) and she will not stop until she gets a hold of it.
When she gets it, she will usually huff and puff (even if she's only been chasing for a few seconds) and sometimes she'll growl quietly. Eventually she'll stalk off with her "prize" and if there's any resistance from the pole, she'll stop in her tracks and start up with the huffing/puffing/growling again.
She did this when she first encountered the 'Panic Mouse' and now she won't even look at the 'Panic Mouse.'
Is it ok to let her get this worked up while playing? Am I unknowingly encouraging aggression/anger? Or is this good excited behavior?
I haven't noticed her being more aggressive after 'Da Bird' is put away, but I want to make sure I'm not turning my sweetie into an angry maniac.
Thanks everyone!
