hi there; question for people with 2+ cats. Do your cats sleep together? hang together? follow each other around?

See my avatar. :slight_smile: Thess two almost always hang out together. The tortie also bunched up with the white cat. And when it gets colder, all three of them pile up together. :slight_smile:

My two are sisters and they do sleep and hang out together sometimes, but they also like their space and occasionally fight. Our black and white cat will mother the black cat and sometimes the black cat doesn’t like it.

My two are sisters. They have knockdown drag out fights with much hissing and spitting and chase each other around the house. Next time you look they are curled up together asleep. One will drag a string and the other will chase it.

These are the first cats I’ve had who interact with each other.

We have a family affair - mom, son, and daughter. The sibs do hang out together and sometimes nap together, and all three like being in the same general area, but mom usually maintains some distance. Although during thunderstorms everybody makes a beeline for the apparently safe space under my bed.

Have any of you seen Taylor Swift’s new music video titled “Me”? Something there for cat lovers. :slight_smile:

My two are littermates. As kittens, they were inseparable. The female would groom the male and they slept all intertwined. As they grew up, they changed. These days, they are generally together but there are clear territory lines. They will be sitting or lying contentedly, right next to each other, and then I guess someone breaks the Cat Code and one will hiss or bop the other. Very occasionally one will chase the other. They also have their own favorite places to hide away and sleep during the day. (You had better be careful reaching into the boxes in the dark recesses of a certain closet or you’re going to touch something that feels weirdly warm and furry. ) But yes, they usually follow each other around and if one ambles into a room you can be pretty sure the other one is going to be along in the next few seconds.

We recently had a feral cat show up at our back screen door. My two instantly became a team to let him know that this was their house and he was not welcome.

I have three cats, currently sleeping on my bed. Toby was five years old when we adopted two female kittens - not litter mates. We picked our little orange tabby first and then the SPCA volunteer let us bring kittens - one at a time - into the adoption room to see if any clicked. One did and they’ve been besties from the beginning. They do groom each other and nap together and play together - not all the time, but not infrequently either. Our older male cat adjusted well to the little ones. He sleeps on the bed with them and I’ve noted a few tentative licks. He does play with them almost every day - chasing or being chased. It’s been good for him.

RIP, Grumpy Cat. ?

Oh no! Wow, she was only 7 years old! :frowning:

I know! Urinary tract infection says Mr. :frowning:

D2’s baby (almost 3 years old) had a bad UTI recently. I’m so glad she was treated successfully. It didn’t occur to me that it could be fatal. :open_mouth:

I’m so sorry. :frowning:

Now I’m seeing Grumpy Cat memes all over facebook. I feel badly for the family but I hope it’s comforting that so many people expressed condolences and that so many people loved watching that cat.

And here are some happy cat news!

Hi cat folks I need some help! One of my cats won’t stop peeing at the bottom of our stairs. What makes it hard to solve is that this is a hardwood floor landing, with a small hole in it
so we HAVE to have a rug there, so people don’t catch their toe or their sock in the hole, and, of course, some urine has probably run into the hole and gone down below several times. For a while, one of those gel foam kitchen mats kept her from peeing there, but eventually she decided she just didn’t care that it wasn’t absorbent, and she’ll pee on that too. Any ideas? Are we just doomed? Obviously, being on a stair landing, we can’t block this area off from her either. I’ve tried foil and repellent, the repellent doesn’t stop her,and we just can’t have foil covering our landing 24/7 (it’s visible right from the front door and in the living room). Thanks!
