I just want to make sure about Alpha cats.

I'm going to get booed for this one, but what is this alpha cat everyone keeps talking about. Now remember guys, I was a dog person for my whole life until these three little bumpkins came into my life. I would assume it would mean, "the leader of the pack?"

Yes... I think it does mean that .... That was a very good question. For I have wondered the same thing myself. Patches is the alpha cat in my house and Tiger is next in line.
