Title: I think my Toby is in love!
Post by: NormandyMary on May 29, 2011, 08:22:22 pm

The funniest thing happened this afternoon. We had the boys out from their pen as per usual, they were exploring the barn where the hay is kept, they thought it was an all you can eat buffet. Well, anyway, up from the bottom of the garden walked our oldest cat Tabitha. She walked in the boys direction, and on seeing her Toby walked towards her. I thought that Tabby would boult as she is fairly timid, but she stood her ground. Toby then kissed Tabitha on the lips. I wouldnt have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Tabs then just got up and walked away. It really was the sweetest thing Ive ever seen.
Do any of your goats show emotion in this way with other species?

yes ...
...though our big cat prefers to kiss the boys - the billy goat, his son Max the wether, and the kittens (both boys!)
and the goats kiss him back!!

and Geraldine & Max will both kiss us...
