Rose - the status info is very interesting as I often try to figure out if I have an alpha or not - do not seem to have one out of my six as they are all quite laid back[/QUOTE]
I suppose you could have 6 non-dominant cats. Usually one will come to the fore. Slapping around the others, eating first, not covering the business in the box.
Let's hear from our larger cat 'clubs'.
Jen?
I suspect in clubs of over 10 there will be a couple of Alpha cats.
Does anyone know of any other 'statuses' that you cats hold besides,
Alpha, laid-back, non-dominant, scardey, pariah?
Knowing more will help me in my rescue efforts, when matchmaking cats!
Only 4 years ago (I thought I knew a lot about cats) I had my cats totally mislabeled. I thought Snowy was Alpha, because he was more active. (kitten at the time) Now I know different.
I know a little more now, but still have a lot to learn.
