Boy you sound like just the right person to give me a little advice. I have 3 male (fixed) cats that have found me over the last 4 years----and my problem is they all hate each other. I long for kitty kisses and cuddles, but boy not in this house. I would love for them to get along, but for some reason they hardly tolerate each other. Only saving grace is they're indoor/outdoor and rarely in the house at the same time. Anyway, I sure envy those of you who have housefuls of cats.
They are all trying to be the Alpha cat! I don't know how you deal with that.
The kittens we found in the compost bin alternately fight and play together. They have all been together since birth and have to share space with the alpha adult female who gives big swats. We have two more adult once stray cats. The youngest, a once wormridden, injured and starving stray was motherly to the kittens when they were younger. It was ao sweet to watch.
All of our cats love to be petted bur some more than others, some sleep on my daughters bed. ..some are very loving and some are rather aloof.
My cat I lost to cancer had been"my" cat..bonded with me and stayed by me when I was on the computer. She was another 'wild cat' that had shown up.
We lost 2 cats several years ago..They just disappeared and no one answered our notices. We now have housecats only.
