Hello,
We have a one year old castrated cat Stevie. He seems to of made best friends with another male slightly older ginger cat. They do not growl or hiss at each other and Stevie is quite happy for the cat to be in the garden. I would of thought if he was unhappy he would hiss and puff his tail like he usually does????
Stevie today was caught showing the ginger cat around his house quite happily leading him around. It is quite amusing but as the male cat does not seem to have been castrated we would rather he didn't come into the house incase he scent marks. He has been sneaking in and eating Stevies food. This morning before work ginger cat and Stevie were Seen sitting outside the cat flap ginger cat trying to put his head through and Stevie was nudging him in almost saying go on go on it's ok!!!! Like I said it's quite funny, I'm just unsure whether Stevie actually likes this cat or the ginger cat is just being dominant over him. We don't know whether to just allow them to hang about together and just try and deter ginger cat coming into the house and eating or to try and find out who he belongs to. He may be a stray as we live in a rural area with farms.
Stevie also looks for him when we bring him in at night. As soon as ginger cat turns up he meows very loudly not aggressively just very loudly almost calling Stevie. Is this friendly or being aggressive??
Has anyone experienced this before with two male cats that are strangers to each other??
Many thanks!

I used to have indoor/outdoor cats. One turned up and moved in, we bought a pair of brothers from a breeder, and over the years a further 3 cats moved in. I always got the impression that the resident cats 'vetted' the newcomers before they ever made it to the back door! I'm certain cats that go out unsupervised make friends (and enemies) that we never know anything about.
