I have had paired cats many times. Some were mates and others were brothers or sister pairs. In every instance whenever something happened to one, the other felt lost. They acted out and would search for the other one. It would be a hard choice to break them up and i would only do it if it meant saving one or both cats lives.
Yes cats can live with other cats but some cats are stubborn and don't like sharing their space. If your cat is a nice one it will probably welcome the new cat just as you do. It's all about personality. Animals have personalities just as people do. Some are more aggressive and territorial, whereas others are affectionate and quite happy to share their people.
Yes, modern cats are distantly related to dinosaurs. Both cats and dinosaurs are part of the broader group of animals known as archosaurs, with cats evolving from a separate lineage of archosaurs called therapsids. This shared ancestry goes back millions of years.
Yes, female and male cats from the same litter can typically live together peacefully. However, it's important to spay/neuter both cats to prevent unwanted litters and reduce territorial behaviors. Introducing them slowly and providing separate resources like food, water, and litter boxes can also help maintain harmony in the household.
No all should be fine,but towards the end of pregnancy a cat will wish to be left in peace by other cats in the home,and left alone to give birth plus during the time when she is feeding and caring for her young.
the answer is a bit complicated. these two things simultaneously: 1. SEPARATE your older cats need a proof that they still matter. The new kitten should sleep and eat apart of them. The places where they are 'the boss' should for start stay reserved just for the older cats. 2. Bring together pet them together. take both cats into your lap and pet them. if your older cat gets agressive, turn from it (not for weeks, for a minute or so) and just pet the other cat. Also pet your older cats on these 'premier' places where they like to sleep, and show them that your affection is not becoming smaller. The new kitten will be fine with a little less attention, don't you care about that. What matters now is to form a healthy cat household.
It is generally recommended to place cats' food and water in separate locations to prevent contamination and keep the food fresh.
yes if they have lived together when they were a baby, they would be used to it.
Well, that is kind of your opinion, but to me, i would never separate my cats because they have been raised since kittenhood. but were aren't separating them anyway. But in my opinion, I don't think you should. Since the cats have been mostly together ever since, they will miss each other very much. and Since they have known each other for a long time i would probably think they have "friendship". And remember the stories about when the friend has to move? It is really sad. so in my opinion i don't think you should.
Absolutely. Cats have memories the same as any other animal.
Integrating cats together in a harmonious way involves gradual introductions, providing separate spaces, and positive reinforcement. Start by keeping the cats in separate rooms and gradually allow supervised interactions. Use treats and toys to create positive associations. Monitor their body language and behavior, and be patient as they adjust to each other's presence.
No. Male cats are not involved at all with the bringing up of their offspring; only the mother cat will do this. Male and female cats will only come together to mate, and after will go their separate ways. In the wild, male cats can kill kittens in order to bring the female into heat again.
If the cats lived together you should probably get a new cat. I believe that cats need one of their kind to hang around and 'cat chat' with. Well if the cat that passed was ill, I think you should buy new toys, litter box, food dish ,ect... because it is possible for your living cat to get the same illness from those items. So sorry to hear your cat passed.
where jesus lived
big cats live for 15-20 years in the wild
Not ALL cats will eat birds. Cats that have lived on the streets and had to find their own food are more likely to catch birds and eat them. Cats that have lived in captivity all their lives will sometimes just catch a bird to play with.
separate them
Cats did not evolve from dinosaurs. Cats evolved from a common ancestor of modern carnivores, which lived after the extinction of dinosaurs.
