Mikki did this when we first got her.  I almost freaked!  I think I asked on here as well.  If I remember correctly, I was told it is a dominance thing.  Maybe someone else can give you more information on it.  With Mikki, it has stopped.  Thank Goodness!  

  But Rosie has proven to be the dominant female.  That may be why.  I am not really sure.
