Dennis - It was the staring thing, wasn't it? Some people don't like it either; I know I don't. But I have learned some social restraint, and don't go all Eddy on them if they do it.
Eddy - I suggest reading the elevator scene in "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" by J.D. Salinger for a good example of an alternative approach.
Dennis, being on your back is a good way to get the four-legged defense/offense position started. I hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
Elmo and Bob purr and head butt each other while waiting for chow time to commence, then eat the required 3 pieces of kibble per cat off the floor before proceeding to their respective bowls to eat in peace.
Elmo purrs while he eats. Bob pauses during his dog-like consumption of kibble to watch his Grampa eating. (Bob likes to watch his Grampa do anything. As a kitten, he used to watch Elmo and his cat daddy, Punchky, do their business in the litter box, much to their dismay. Actually, Bob still tries to sneak a peek when Elmo's in there.)
When they're done eating, I put an ice cube in the water bowl for Bob. (Bob thinks water was made for playing in--he likes to drop various toys in the water bowl and watch them sink or float, then drink while the toy moves around in the water to his licking action--and nothing makes him happier than to be able to drink while an ice cube is clinking around in the bowl.)
Edward - you mentioned belted things and tuxies etc. so I came up with a photo for you. It's on todays' (Dec. 29) post on my blog, if you can make it by. Regards, D. p.s. Flash send her best, she's a tuxie also.
Dennis Teitelbaum was born on March 31, 2000 in Kiryas Joel, NY.
Dennis was born a Satmar Hasidic cat, but lost the faith when the Grand Rebbe Moshe died in 2006, and the succession feud began.
Dennis adopted a son, Edward, on June 29, 2008. Dennis became disenchanted with Edward in 2009.
Dennis adopted a son, Henry, on August 7, 2010. Dennis became disenchanted with Henry a few months later.
Dennis began having health problems and increasingly bad attitudinal attacks. Dennis spent much his last years passed out in a cupboard. Dennis left this world in September 2011 to join the Grand Rebbe in another world.

Good luck to you both!
You only fell over on your back so you could get your hind legs into him. I know.
All,s Fair In Love & Food.........
cat fight! :)
Dennis, you must be using the wrong eyes... give him the Don't even think about it eyes!
Perhaps they all could be encouraged to say a prayer or blessing. Then this sort of fracas would be less likely.
Dennis explained he was just looking at the floor, but then i said
*“If you want to look at my feet, say so, but don’t be a God-damned sneak about it.”
then i jumped on him and punched him.
(*from the story mentioned earlier in this comments section)
Sorry Eddy, but I don't think you're getting dessert today.
Boys will be boys...
When you are that close together, I think Elevator Rules must apply. No eye contact.
LOL. I'm sorry but you guys are just too adorable and make me laugh with your antics all the time! If I was there, I would cuddle each of you.
if you boys aren't careful someone ELSE might eat your dinner while you are fighting....
Struggle for leadership, Big Dennis !
You MUST show to this kitten who is (still) the Boss.
oh my! they look like my cat!
Merry Christmas To All The Cats!
Do visit my blog, I've post some cats
photos.

Dennis, around here, dinner IS sacred.

(Hey, I never said that Bob was normal.)
Oh dear Dennis, it is too bad that Eddy does not have any dinner time manners!
I agree poor Dennis.
I have to agree with Dennis on this one!!!! Dinner IS sacred!!!!
Settle down Eddy!!!!
Purrs Mickey
