Lesson 1: Don't have two females! They will fight like crazy. When I got Sally and Minnie, they were two cuddle bugs until after a few years, then they started fighting! Even after I got them fixed, they still acted standoffish to each other.
Lesson 2: Get them fixed as soon as possible. I didn't get them fixed until after they were 9 years old. Having them fixed as soon as they are old enough save them a lot of anxiety and it balances out their hormones.
Lesson 3: Never put a cat outside as punishment. One morning my cats were fighting, and I got peeved at them. I broke them up, and then put them outside to cool off. Minnie stayed in the back yard but Sally ran and hid for three days. I was heartbroken because I didn't know where she was. I was afraid that she would get run over, stolen, or attacked by a dog. She came back the third night, and I scooped her up and promised her I would never do that again!
Lesson 4: Never assume that a lump is not cancer. Just after I got them fixed, they both developed lumps on their chest, which I had assumed were fat deposits. I didn't take them to the vet until they got larger. They both got operations, but the cancer had set further in and done it's mortal work. I lost Sally and it's slowly working on Minnie.
