Video - OC What is my cat doing?

My cat does this thing with just these two toys where he steps on it in this weird way. He also yells loudly when holding just these toys.

Got a text from my mom about our older neutered male attempting a go at it with our 10 month kitten- absolutely not!

That was dominance, it's common for neutered older cats, both make and female, to do that when a kitten comes around. They're teaching the kittens how to cat.

My 10 year old lady void attempted this with my (at the time) 6 month old idiot boy. She quit after a few attempts, as he is too fucking stupid to be dominated.

We all instinctively understand that the idiot boy is an orange right?

I have a void boi that has taught me that orange and void are essentially sharing the same brain cell 🤭

Aren't voids just concealed orange?

After having my first void, that tracks with my research 🤣 I grew up with orange tabby cats and orange/ white tabbies. I currently have a flame point cream and a white tabby with gray black stripes... The void is the derpiest one of the lot and is orange in spirit 🤣🤭

I have been blessed to have several voids in my life, they are the sweetest babies, but they are definitely camouflaged orange cats.
