I have some opinion questions for people who are familiar with alpha cats. Most answers will be anecdotal but please give links if there were actual studies.
1. What percentage of cats do you think would be classified as alpha cats? (For instance, strong enough to exert themselves over a large group of healthy cats -- not just which cat out of your two housecats is "more alpha" than the other.)
2. At what age do alpha cats begin taking control of their environment and start ascending to their natural position?
3. Are there more female alpha cats or male alpha cats? (Any idea of approximate ratio?)
4. Does anyone know what happens to aging alpha cats?
5. In your opinion, what is the biggest misunderstanding most people have regarding alpha cats?
Thanks for any replies!
