As most of you know, I have 3 pet cats, Jack & Darla - Boo, both about nine years old & brother & sister from the same litter, Jack's the only male, and we recently added Tiffany a 12 - 13 year old girl to the family, she has grown up on her own with no other kitties around, but has a reasonably placid nature. Both the girls arent too fussed about each other (dont think they ever will be) but they have learnt to tolerate each other, have the occasional hiss or growl at each other & thats it. They had a confrontation early on where Darla got in Tiffany's face, and Tiffany bopped her on the nose & put her in her place. Well, Jack is such a sweet boy, he doesnt have a nasty bone inhis body, just likes attention & to be around people & other animals. Tiffany is slowly warming up to him, but has been keeping him at a bit of a distance, well, tonight, tiffany was curled up on one of the beds & jack curled up with her & layed on her a bit, it was so cute but I didnt get a chance to get a photo of it Tiffany seemed fine about it too, its a big step for both of them, im so glad they are finally starting to be so friendly towoards each other. Darla - Boo has always shunned Jack to some degree, she loves my dad and thats about it! lol! Jack likes to curl up with her, but she has a temper tantrum every time he tries before she lets him settle down, it was nice to see Tiffany letting him snuggle up with her ^^

It's nice that they are getting to the point where they will snuggle a little. I don't think mine ever will. Bianca, our 6yo black and white housecat, hates our relative youngster Dodge (silver grey long-haired boy), who we inherited from a family that moved into a rental where no pets were allowed about a year ago. They will snooze together on the same bed but not cuddle, and they still hiss at each other and fight from time to time.

aww! Thats a shame raindrop Some animals will never sort out their differences, I dont think the 2 girls ever will, they dont fight though which is good, I couldnt handle them scrapping all the time, they just stay out of each others way. Darla boo is th scrapper, but she isnt used to being hit back (jack generally only defends himself, doesnt attack her though) I think Tiffany put her back in her box cause she did give her a whack for getting in her face, nothing permanent though, and nothing too bad, just enough to let her know to keep her distance I am just so pleased that Tiffany & Jack are comfortable enough with each other to snuggle <3 Its so cute to see and I originally got her hoping that she would take to Jack, as Darla Boo is too full of herself! lol! She is a sweet kitty but doesnt think she is a kitty
