Two Cats groom each other?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
As you all know, I recently became a 2 cat house-hold. Skitter who had my full attention since 6-7 weeks old and now a year and a half seems to have taken almost right to Doola. Doola is also a year and a half.


my question is, is it normal for two cats who have just been in the same house for 10 days to lick each other ? It is especially Skitter that does it the most and then bites her fur, I guess it is and then licks her again. Doola will sometimes lick her back. Doola is usually purring when Skitter does this.

Does it just mean that my two girls just took to each other really well? They have been together when I go to work after only a week.

My 1 1/2 year old cat started grooming my 8 week old kitten within a week of the kitten moving in. They start off wrestling, then my older cat pins the kitten down and starts licking him (usually starts licking him against the grain of his fur, to get the kitten to stop wriggling around). I figured it was because my kitten sucked at cleaning himself, and his white stomach fur was yellowing a bit. Now my cat grooms my kitten multiple times a day, and (thankfully) sometimes without wrestling first!

I have two girl cats who are BFF's and they groom each other. Though they came from the same shelter and I adopted them the same day, they were only loose together about 2 weeks before I brought them home. I isolated them in a room together for a few days. They bonded and have been the same ever since. I think it's rather nice.

They were my Black Friday specials last year. Black cats (Lily) were only $50 and cats who had been at the shelter over 3 years were also $50 (Ariel). They'd have been bargains at thrice the price.
