Nothing to be concerned about here, but I'm just curious. If you haven't read my introduction post in the "New Cats on the Block" Forum, well, I'll explain a little bit.
I'm very new to having my own kitties and fairly new to living with cats (I had a dog growing up, a very jealous doggy who did NOT like any other animals getting the attention she deserved!
). I got Loki in early January, and then I just got Possum a few weeks ago in early March because I thought Loki might be lonely and would be happier with another kitty around.
Well, the thing is, Loki and Possum have bonded really well and I think very quickly. Not that I'm complaining, mind you! They cuddle and sleep together, and they even groom each other! It's very cute and adorable!
Anyway, previously, I've lived with my sister's cats for about 3 months. The boys are named Mouser and Minion, and they are half-brothers who have been together for pretty much all their lives. They groom each other, too, but they are blood siblings.
Because of what I've read, I didn't think that cats who weren't blood siblings or cats who had a very close relationship would lick each other. Really, I'm just surprised that they've taken to each other so well so fast. Loki is 2 and is normal sized, and Possum is 1 1/2, and MUCH smaller, and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. It's been only been 3 weeks. Is this somewhat normal for cats, or am I incredibly lucky?
