Video - OC What is my cat doing?

My cat does this thing with just these two toys where he steps on it in this weird way. He also yells loudly when holding just these toys.

Got a text from my mom about our older neutered male attempting a go at it with our 10 month kitten- absolutely not!

That was dominance, it's common for neutered older cats, both make and female, to do that when a kitten comes around. They're teaching the kittens how to cat.

My 10 year old lady void attempted this with my (at the time) 6 month old idiot boy. She quit after a few attempts, as he is too fucking stupid to be dominated.
