    When two cats meet, is the sniffer or the sniffee the dominant one?

    Neither, they're just checking each other out.

    Cats do have pecking order fights. When they have them, it's pretty quick & over.

    Sniffing is not the fight.

    As Wally Cleaver used to say when he didn't know an answer:
    "Search me". hahaha
    I will watch this thread as I'm always trying in vain to figure my cats out :)
