ORIGINAL: maybemaybenot I'm down to one cat, she's almost 6 now. I would love another one, but she doesn't like other cats. Funny thing is, she came into a home full of cats. God rest their little souls. Never warmed up to them tho and she is a much happier cat all alone. So I guess I will let her be the " queen " for now. Actually, spicy would be the same. He moved in as a homeless boy as his previous owners didnt bother about cats anymore as now they had dogs (thats at least what my previous boss told me as reason why they begged for food there). However, as his mum and siblings were taken on from other staff, I then took him on and whilst they get on ok-ish overall, I think he would be happy on his own and if that would ever be the case (though, I doubt that would ever be the case with my fur family still growing until summer is fixed) I would leave him as an alone cat, too. currya and pepper were the first ones with me in the UK and they showed him that they weren't happy about him moving in and still show him attitude at times...so at present their cat family is more like "living and let others live". He got more included since urmel is born, as urmel approached him very differently as a kitten than the grown up cats, which is nice to see for me, that he is less an outsider now, but nevertheless Urmel knows, too, best not to mess with spicy... I also concluded recently that spicy probably has more injuries than the other cats as he wants to make more clear to other cats that his territority is HIS territoritry, considering he was homeless for a while and feels the need now to take more care of HIS place. but in general I know he would be happy as an only cat, as he had at times moved to my neighbour, at my previous place and completely ignored me, when he had the choice between going with that neighbour or myself. But as that neighbour didnt make his mind up for over a year if he wants to take him on permanently, he continued to live with me and my gang when I moved My other cats don't really get it IMO how lucky they are that he is rather gentle with them, as his injuries show, he can dish out differently as well....or at least I hope that he dishes out as much as he gets at times....overall I think he prefers not to fight but only does it when he considers it to be absolutely necessary...
