Kane seems to understand that pack order in our house pretty well. He's very submissive to DH (the alpha). He's thrilled when DH pays him some attention and will sit quietly for pettings from him. He's submissive to me too; but I'm the one he always looks up to, follows around and runs to when he gets his little puppy feelings hurt. Kane plays with Jax constantly and gives as good as he gets when they tussle.
The thing is, he's tried to hump the cats - who don't give a fig about pack orders and do their own thing - and he's tried to hump Jax a few times when Jax is laying down. The cats ignore him when he humps and Jax just looks at him like "what ARE you doing, you strange little creature?". Jax doesn't correct Kane for humping, but does correct him for other things.
So is Kane trying for dominance or is he just being a puppy?
