I'm a new owner of two kittens.
I get them about one-two months apart. They are both of a tuxedo pattern. Before that I had bought home kittens. The first was a white one and my first kitten hated him. Would howl, hiss, and swipe the white kitten. So we returned him. After that we got an older kitten ginger cat. My kitten hates him even more but would still cautiously play with him, but only on his term (kitten would approach the ginger kitten but would freak out if the ginger kitten approached him). So we returned him. After that we had another tuxedo kitten. After just 5 hisses they immediately started playing with each other. They are playing rough which I think is normal and my older kitten can tolerate being jumped on by this new tuxedo kitten.
I don't think kittens are very self aware of their own patterns obviously but do you think there are other influences in the colour pattern that foster friendship in cats or kittens?
