Well, this is the first time I've ever had two cats and I'm just curious what kinds of behavior can I expect and what is acceptable behavior.

As I posted just a few minutes ago, I just adopted Oz as a companion to both myself and Casey.

Oz:


Casey:


Well, they seem to be getting along very well. In just under a week, it went from Casey hissing at Oz to now they follow me and each other around all over the place. In fact, they chase each other around seemingly playfully and sometimes even wrestle, one again, playfully.

Is this the kind of behavior I should expect from two cats that are getting along well - I suspect it is. Also, what other behavior should I expect with the two of them? And, what is considered bad behavior between the two of them? I know that flattened ears is a sign of anger/agression, but what else should I be looking for.

I hope my questions make sense. I'm just curious and want to make sure things go good for my cats.

Charles

P.S.
Casey is a fixed 9 mo female.
Oz is a fixed 8 mo male.

Ears flattened can also be in play.

The way they are now is good :0)
Tails fully bushed up, violent tail swishing, squeals from one or positive attempts to hide can be signs of bullying.
It is a good idea now to have two litter trays one in another location to avoid anyone being ambushed or not gettiing the privacy they are used too.
They sound as if they have made friends quickly.
