I can only speak from my experience...

We had Allen for two years before Pouncer and he was always a sweet cat, but aloof and only loving when he was in the mood for scratchies and rubs... but then you'd better give them to him when he wanted them

Then we got Pouncer and Allen turned into a very loving cat and actually purrs more often. He and Pouncer are basically inseperable, and Pouncer craves human cuddling. Allen still isn't a lap cat but he has definately come a looong way.

Two cats are great because they give each other company when humans can't dote on them, and since by their nature, cats are social animals, its good for them. Only my humble opinion created after many hours in front of the Discovery channel watching lions!

I just see that Allen is a far happier and content cat than before... he basiclly seems to have blossomed (if thats possible for a cat to do.)

Keep the pictures coming of that fuzzy guy!
