[quote=Anonymous]I used to despise cats like you OP, then once I got one, I had to get another.

So, I have become a cat lady as well. Who knew??

Anyway, I got my first cat, a Male at 5 mos. old. I didn't plan on getting a second cat at the time, but I noticed every time I came home, my kitty was at the front door waiting for me. I assumed this was due to loneliness. Plus, whenever I would get ready to go anywhere, he sensed it + would act nervous. For instance, if he was asleep and saw me getting ready to go, he would wake up and follow me every where.

So I got him another Male kitty roughly the same age as a "friend."

Of course, it took some time to transition him to get used to the cat, but he eventually did.

When they were younger, they would play w/each other, chase each other around for fun. They also used to lie side by side and I kid you not, one time I came home and the older kitty had his furry arm around the younger one. Too bad I didn't have a camera phone at the time, because no one seems to believe me! They also used to lick each other which I took as them bathing each other.

My older cat no longer was nervous or stressed when I would leave, and he never sat by the door waiting for me all day to get home.

Fast forward almost a decade later.

They barely interact and if they do, it's typically one chasing the other and a lot of hissing/growling.
