in xfer's defense I must point out a few indicators which may offer somewhat extenuating factors.
in the "Arrow Video" (henceforth designated as Exhibit 1) Arrow is adopting physical stances which are in no way conducive to defense or indicative of a sense of threat. This would seem to state Arrow is at ease with Alex. Cats will frequently nip as playful behavior. Nonetheless, the audible growling is troublesome.
Secondly, in at least one of the arrow pictures, Arrow is comfortably resting with her front paws tucked under her body. (Exhibit 2). Cats do not rest like this if they are in an agitated or alarmed state; when prepared to flee or attack, their paws are outstretched to facilitate quick movement.
while Alex's past actions are often signposts to a developing mania which could well have resulted in the likes of excavated crawlspaces, I hope my knowledge of cat physiology and psychology have been enough to temporarily exonorate this troubled yet kindly Bostonian lad.
