Hi, my first post here. My neighbours recently acquired a kitten who is approx 10 months. He seems to be 'friendly' with my neutered tom, Milo, however, as he's got more adventurous and curious, he's started following Milo into our house (just in the last two days). I don't have a catflap, and so Milo, whom I rehomed as an indoor cat, gets time outdoors only when I am at home and can leave the back door open. I've witnessed Milo bossing around other neighbourhood cats who've strayed onto his territory; now, however, Milo is having to share that territory with the neighbours' kitten. The neighbours' kitten appears submissive to Milo, and meows at him kitten-like, though I've also witnessed a few mild sparring sessions, and I'm never entirely sure who's won. This afternoon, however, the neighbours' kitten sneaked in and went into Milo's litter tray (which 'd just cleaned this morning!). He didn't poop, but perhaps peed. I've changed the litter again but am wondering: is this kitten's behaviour aggressive? Is he trying to dominate Milo, on his home turf? Do I need to be wary of my interactions with the kitten, and Milo's? I've locked the door now, and decided that when I let Milo out again, I will have to lock him outside as I don't want to risk the kitten coming in again. What do you think of this kitten's behaviour? Can two neutered male cats be 'friends' or does one need to be on top?
Your opinions would really interest me.
Thanks!
