Ferals form social groups to defend and protect themselves while housecats don't necessarily do that..
Many people do have a situation where there are multiple cats and t hey do get along but, is it fair??
If you really know and love cats you will know that they crave and need persoalized attention.. you can't do that in a multiple cat household...
I have at one time fostered 27 cats at the same time under one roof for several months..
Did they get along?? Yes, some of them did..many formed their own groups within the group...others were desperately trying to get loved and petted..
With usually, and I say usually anything over four cats you do not have the time to individually pay attention to them properly.
Now before you start screaming at me, I realize that there is always the exception...and obviously your one..
I work with several Animal Rescue groups and my local ASPCA and they will concur that multiple cat households are at best usually not a good Environment..
Even at the shelters they try to have a private place for most of the cats to go and they try to have as any volunteers as possible to pay attention to the cats...It can't be done with just one or two people..
Cats, while sometimes solitary beings, need and want the attention of their owners...
That's all I'm saying...so don't be offended if you have a multiple cat household and yours all get along. I am not pointing the finger or talking just for the sake of it..
I have been dealing with, fostering and volunteering for over 30 years so I do think I have some qualifications for what I say..
Thanks..
