- We have a similar problem. Our male (Miki) is a year old. He chases the
- female (Athena) around saying "Gimme Kiss - (kissing sound) - gimme kiss
- - (kissing sound)". She is 7 months old and has no desire to be close to
- him. She prefers to rub against her papa's hand.... I'm sure you
- wouldn't consider this normal behavior in the wild, but with handfed
- pets, I guess that anything is normal to them.
