Bullies!

I posted a discussion about my pets.
What prompted it was that I have some bullies among my cats.
Earlier today I saw Teeny trying to walk around when she couldn't see Onyx. I finally scooped her up and put her in the room with the roommate where Onyx isn't allowed to go.
I was brushing my teeth when this happened.
Onyx is afraid of Frank. She was in the bathroom with me and Frank and Braveheart were playing just outside the bathroom. It was kind of funny because Braveheart was running around in the kitchen. Frank was kind of running too. Onyx kept looking into the kitchen to see where Frank was.
Then, Onyx was just on the other side of where I was sitting and Frank went after her. He was going to go under my legs. But, I had been kind of thinking something was going to happen since Frank had so much energy. I put my leg right were Frank was going and he kind of accordioned into my leg. He collected himself and dashed out again.
Onyx stayed behind the toilet until it was obvious I was done, then she dashed out and got on something where she could see Frank would have to work to get her.
At that point Frank was in the tunnel and I think he had worn himself out.
Do you have animals that pick on others?

Never had bully cats, and the only time I had more than one at a time was when Mona had her family. Alfie stayed behind when the others went out into the world. But when all four siblings were home, they liked to indulge in what I call "Kick Face", a fun game for them.

@BarBaraPrz It looks scary to us, but really they aren't kicking as hard as they would with actual prey. I've seen a cat who didn't really understand cat dynamics get soundly punished for not respecting the other cat.

I've heard female dogs will do it. I've never had 2 female dogs at the same time. When we had 3 dogs I did have 2 boys. Before we got the younger one, we could feed the girl and boy at the same time. The girl, Zoe, would try to eat all the food, but the boy, Cujo, would let himself get pushed off and just go over to the other bowl and eat. I half suspect he got most of the food because he'd just move and eat.

@wolfgirl569 Cujo was in a yard with an intact female dog and her intact son. Cujo was also intact at that point but I have no idea why the female never had more puppies. That was why he was pretty easy going about the food. However, once we started feeding him wet food, we had also started feeding Zoe separately. Cujo did not let the younger dog, who is the dog I still have, get near his food.

We also have two cats that are bullies to each other because they are naughty since they were kittens before.

That was funny although it may not be funny in a way as perhaps Frank was going to be a bully to Onyx.Good thing you kept the leg in time . I did have pets at one point of time. However, do not recollect a situation where a particular pet would pick on others. I have seen strange love between parrots and cats. I have also sees cats understanding our language and behaving accordingly. It is definitely fun when we have pets at home , there is fun and entertainment while they are there. Well, you have a great day ahead!
