Anyway, I was thinking that in this household, Nikki (the Security Guard Cat) is probably our resident Enforcer as well. She doesn't put up with any nonsense, and will grumble emphatically if the youngsters get too rowdy. Sometimes I think she takes her job a bit TOO seriously (as in, she gets annoyed if the youngsters are just playing, or if humans are laughing) but again telling her that I appreciate her services seems to settle her a bit. The Enforcer/Spokescat roles also make some sense of the fact that Nikki and Shadow (one of the youngsters) are both Betas but have completely different demeanors and attitudes. They're both fond of the Lassie Move of course but their priorities differ; e.g., Nikki is more apt to let everyone know if there's a neighbor cat intruding in the yard, whereas Shadow is more apt to announce that it's dinnertime!
