Just wondering what this could mean if anything?

Bane and Domino get along really well and when together are always racing around. When they do settle down, we find that if Domino is sleeping on the floor, Bane has to go over and just stand over him. He moves really slowly and almost robotic like when he does it and just stands there...most of the time Domino doesn't wake up but if he does he just moves somewhere else or they go off for another round of Zoomies.

Is there something Domino and us aren't picking up on that Bane knows? What is he trying to achieve or is he just being a weirdo? Laughing

It could be that he's trying to assert dominance in a very sly way. It's interesting that they both get on ok and don't show any of this behaviour at other times.

Could be a dominance thing but given his age and they get along I wouldn't worry

Sounds like the sleepwalking scene from Paranormal Activity. Noticed any bangs in the night recently... Big Grin

Haha Dogface that would be very creepy! I don't think I'd be able to cope with waking up having Bane standing on meĀ Straight Face

We thought it could be a dominance thing but it doesn't seem to bother Domino. They both do their equal share of getting on top of each other and humping each other but neither seem bothered. Quite an odd couple!

I would also suggest this sounds like a dominance thing.
