Alpha status

[prechrswife]

Saphirah is definitely the Alpha kitty around here. She has seniority, and I think Chloe and Samson are just too laid-back to care about being in charge.

Debbie - None of my cats seem to be interested in the alpha role either. Sushi and Kirin came from the same rescue, same foster home, so they've known each other since they were itty bitty kitties. While Kirin is definitely more outgoing than Sushi, neither of them have ever attempted to boss the other or put them in their place - to each other OR the baby girls.

All four of my cats cohabitate nicely, with the occasional "you've gone too far, knock it off" whap, but that's about it. So unless they see Samantha as the alpha (which would only be because she's bigger as she's very sweet and gentle and not an alpha dog at all), we have no alphas here either!

Good luck with Boomer! I'm sure everything will work out just fine.
