Wednesday's Question of the Day: Do your cats...

...get along with each other? (If you have more than one of course.)

Our Sparkle is an indoor/outdoor and hates all other cats. She has her own designated room in our house with an outside door. She will not come in if she sees one of the other cats, in fact she always looks somewhat surprised and offended. 

We have a baby gate on her door to the rest of the house - she can get out of her room but the other two cats cannot go in.

Our other two cats, Lily and Tophel, are indoor and get along great. Sparkle is a sweet kitty until she sees another cat then it's all hissing and claws, watch out!

It depends where they are, and what time of day as to whether they get along or not. Mostly they ignore each other.

Pepper is a little lovebug and will spend her whole day cuddling if let her. When I get up, she wil go to her napping spot in the planter by the door. She is also a little smartypants and has learned to defeat the hook on the door that keeps it shut. I wouldn't mind if she would close it behind herself and not run full throttle down the hall to launch on to one of us.

Scooter is as mellow and timid as a cat can get. There is an old iron skillet on the porch that he like to curl up in to nap in the sun.

Fluffy is the Queen Bee around here and picks on the others when sh gets the chance.

In the evenings Pepper and Scooter will clean each others ears and cuddle a bit. Fluffy will run them off if I let her. Yesterday morning she woke me up by attacking Scooter while he was asleep, causing him to dive farther under the covers howling like his tail was on fire. This woke Pepper,who continued to cower under the covers, Fluffy jumping around on top of the covers, frustrated she could not find them. Finally her little snit was over, and she came and curled up on my chest, demanding to be petted. I petted her for awhile, then when stopped, she growled at me. This causes immediate ejection from the bedroom. She hissed and low growled until her little feet hit the floor. Never a dull moment at my house.

my two play and eat together, though lately I've had to separate their eating spots for they'd steal each other's food.

they do not snuggle.. Cassie tried to snuggle with Monet once upon a time ago, but he'd only move away or bite her for submission.. now Cassie would swat at Monet if he gets too close for she doesn't want to be bitten at the neck anymore

All of our cats got along very well.....until the Muffinator came along. When she first came into the house, she hissed and spat at everybody. She even spat at herself in the mirror. She was constantly yelling at the other cats to leave her alone.

Meow, meow! "Don't look at me!"

Meow, meow, meow! "Mom! She's looking at me!"

Hiss, spit. "Go away! Go away I say! MOM!!!"

And so on.

Muffin is doing much better. She and Tabby are the best of friends. And last night, Muffin and Ms. Pepe were chasing each other around the house, much to our surprise (Pepe is 16 years old and not really fond of playing, to be honest).

Molli and Muffin are doing OK, but they really like to pick on each other. If one is in the litterbox, the other stands guard at the bathroom door, until I chase the offending cat away. It's going better than it did, but they still need to work on their relationship. They're probably at about a C- for Plays Well With Others.

For the most part, they do. Da Lip is an equal opportunity hisser, no one is safe from the hiss and slap, not even best buddy, Tippy. Jack and Blue love everyone to the point of receiving the most hisses from Louie. Da Magpie and Hissy hate each other on principle and get into yelling matches once a week. That said, on a cold winter night, five of the six will pile on the bed and quietly shove me to the edge. Hissy sleeps in a drawer or the carrier for some reason.

Gracie doesn't get along with anybody, Matilda and Casey mostly get along, Gracie, Matilda and Casey gang up on Charlie, Emma gets along with Casey and Charlie.

My Cats 5 of them used to get along. One of them got sick and now its game on with the cats. I can keep 3 together with minimual swatting and growling but when the others come into play sasha would like to kill and vice versa. I am working on getting them to stop trying to kill eachother but it is not easy. They used to all be the best of friends well at least tolerated eachother and now not anymore

Good luck I hope it gets better

My 2 hated eachother when they first met- there was lots of hissing and with the younger one being tiny at only 6 weeks, i was terrified to leave them alone together-but now they CAN'T lave eachother alone! Everywhere Bolt (my black one) goes, Mo follows. When one cries, the other runs to his rescue. Its heartwarming to see how much love they have for echother, Ahhhh!

The two females (Angel and Tippytoes) are not at all fond of each other. No hissing or spitting, but they politely ignore each other.
Tony adores them both and follows them all over the house.

Ari and Topaz tolerate each other but do not cuddle. The closest they have been is when Topaz wanted the chair where Ari was and he refused to move. They're like two siblings who like to continually pester and annoy each other.

All of mine get along fairly well.  Julie seems to be the favorite of the other four.  S&S are probably the closest to each other, though.  Right now, Silly, Julie and Sheba are snuggled together on the bed.

Yes...I think.  They don't fight but Noodles rules the roost I guess.  Since it got colder this week they've even snuggled again.  They are litter mates and used to snuggle all the time when they were kittens.  They are 7 now and don't snuggle nearly as much.  Noodles is the cranky lady and prefers her space.  The only one she really gets snuggly with is me and then I never know when it'll come or how long it'll last.  Though she is fond of curling up in my pj pants if I have to use the bathroom at 3 am.   Her one consistent snuggle/play time and location!    When they first came home she was the first to jump in my lap and curl up to sleep.  She doesn't care for my DD much at all and DD is scared of her.  But Mooch knows Noodles' ways and keeps her distance when she needs to.  They are often on the cat tree at the same time or opposite ends of the couch.  The one area Mooch is the alpha is when it comes to lap time with me.  If Noodles is in my lap and Mooch walks up Noodles will get down and go somewhere else.  They do still wrestle each other in play but Noodles eats first at feeding times.  Mooch will take a few bites from her bowl and then step back a few feet and sit and watch till Noodles is done. Then she finishes her meal.  

Sheba and Silly are the "swattiest" cats of the five.  They started doing this a few days ago.


That is my computer chair they are snuggled in.  I guess comfort is more important than dominance.
