I wonder what they do when we're not home....

I have the feeling that My Found Ctas eat as thier dishes always seem empty when I come home!!!
Or sleep on thier many Cat Beds , and be as happy as they can be!!!

I'm sure that when you aren't there, they sleep most of the day and they may even play well together too.

I know that when I'm home, my cats will sleep much less than when I'm gone. Both of my girls still growl and hiss at Alani and Blaze. The two redheads don't even need to be very close either. If they just look at Ziggy, she'll growl and hiss. She's become a real sour puss lately and only seems to love me. Pearl will also scream like she's being killed if Alani and Blaze try to play with her. Like I said before, females seem to be drama queens. They're so much more vocal than the males at least in my household. Both Storm and Sky tolerate Alani and Blaze very well and Blaze is constantly trying to play with Storm's tail.

So glad I am not the only one with this issue.

I agree. I came home after a few day vacation YEARS AGO and found the two females huddled on the couch. One of them couldn't stand the other cat.

I think that they are vying for your attention and are possibly jealous of each other. And they are smart enough to think they can get one over on us.

I still prefer them to human children.

Me too! They are my children.

LOL, that is hilarious!!!


Yes, you are probably right. They probably do not do this when we aren't home. We've never come home to find piles of fur around or injured kitties. So I'm sure all is fine while we are away. I'd still love to see if they actually do cuddle. That would be AMAZING!!! The closest I've seen them is about 6-12 inches.

I remember the first time I went away for the entire day after we had gotten Kimba. I expected to come home and find fur EVERYWHERE! Nope. Two of them were on the couch and the other was close to them on the cat tree. No signs of a fight anywhere, until they knew we were home and then the growling and hissing began. KKK, boys can also growl and hiss at the mere sight of another cat from across the room. Cats, go figure.

Mandy is my "problem child" - she can't stand Tommy. Of course, the moment she spots him, she starts that siren shriek, and HE responds by running to her. She won't retreat, even though he is three times her size and weight. As both are black, piles of black fur are left behind. Mandy ends up out of her bedroom, and in my bathroom sink.

In 3 years, I've only found her there once when I've been out. But if I'm home and they will start, she ends up in the sink if I don't step in. I sometimes go running with the water squirt bottle, and chase Tommy back out of her room. It seems to be happening less and less often, thank goodness. She just never socialized to cats or humans.

I know for a fact Crystal eats when I am out.

I wonder if when they are littermates, that they get along better and without battles? I have NEVER seen my son's twin girls fight, and no evidence of it when no one is at home either, and they are about 8 years old. Pepper only hisses and growls at people - she hates everyone except for my DIL - and she will tolerate me only at feeding time.

When I had my 3 Meezers (not related), they always got along together and never had battles either.
