@Roberta,
Interesting, Roberta.
Mikey was
really big, yes?
And whatta cat he was!
I recall, when my cat Polly, first met my ex's cat, Pussa .... he quitely & calmly bopped her gently on the nose a few times (when she didn't properly acknowledge his natural supremacy, say nothing of his
size, compared to her!
)
Everything was just fine after that .... she used to sit & admire him from a respectful distance.: "My hero!" Ha.
And he taught her how to hunt ...
well sort, of! It didn't exactly prove to be her forte.
