I was petting the cat, and I thought, when she came over, she climbed up on the tower against me and tried to stretch out and make herself look bigger. That was anxiety. So, "I'm stronger than you," (act of) demonstration, mounting. https://gyazo.com/5724e6af0ac91d734834919b19085fdd
Now that is no longer the case. They are being stroked on their knees.
