Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2005Two cats on the bed...at the same time. (!!??!!)
Wow. Luna is *not* the biggest fan of JasperDud. She mostly runs away from him and when he gets too close or appears to be walking toward her, she hisses, snarls, spits and swats before she runs FAST the other direction. Once in a while, she will go up and sniff him or walk by without the dramatic crap. But mostly...hissy fits. So, I just went to look for them to see where they were hanging. And this is what I found. http://public.fotki.com/kitkatluna/miscellaneous/jasper_dudley/jasperluna2.html This is landmark if you ask me. Luna OPTING to hang out on the SAME bed, just INCHES away from a sprawled out and sleeping Jasper. I love my cats. Pam > Wow. Luna is *not* the biggest fan of JasperDud.

Despite an incredibly slow (months) & careful intro. It took a couple of years to get anywhere near normalcy - like could eat in the same room. There was also a landmark here the other day: Demelza actually licked the top/back of Herrie's head for a few seconds! Cathy > Wow. Luna is *not* the biggest fan of JasperDud.

That's like my Bartleby and NewCat. NewCat is convinced Bartleby is her mortal enemy, and she flees whenever he looks in her direction. But, they sleep inches apart on the bed. I don't get it!!  Signature-Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG It took my two females almost 18 months before they would stay in the same room with each other. Now they will tolerate each other on the bed and on rare occasion I will actually find them cuddled up sleeping together. Celeste > Wow. Luna is *not* the biggest fan of JasperDud.

Only abou 9 inches separated them, but Pearl, though giving an evil eye, behaved and Sugar, though kind of huddled on the edge and not looking particularly relaxed, stayed there several minutes. I was most proud of them. >> It took my two females almost 18 months before they would stay >> in the same room with each other.

Unfortunately it seems that something has to upset their dynamics to see that. They feel the loss of Grant, probably, :( SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

I know it has forced a big change in their dynamic. FOr the better, which is good, but still sad. You know what is bittersweet is just now, Sugar jumped from one tree to the other and she looked just like Grant (body movement wise - not her usual style of jump). I just expected to her the big THUNK his 14 lbs made and mrrp that always escaped when he was jumping. *sigh* > >>> It took my two females almost 18 months before they would stay > >>> in the same room with each other.

The opposite happened here after Debbie's death. Debbie was sort of the "middleman" of the 3 cats. She & Demelza were friends, & Debbie - although she wasn't exactly in love w/ Herrie, at least wasn't as petrified of him, nor as highly paranoid about him, as Demelza was. A few days before Debbie died, she was vegging on the sofa, & Herrie kept her company that evening, sitting next to her. After Debbie's death, the "link" between the cats was gone, & for a couple of weeks I never saw both Demelza & Herrie on the same floor of the house at the same time. My guess is that it was due to Demelza making sure that she was never anywhere near Herrie, although I can't be sure of that (re: which cat changed floors, as soon as s/he realized the other cat was on that floor). Eventually that resolved itself...

Almost 4 year later, once in a while I'll see Herrie out of the corner of my eye - just a black portion of him, & think "Debbie" - except of course it's just my mind playing around w/ me.

Bonnie looks almost exactly like Shadow, only a bit smaller. But now that she's "fluffy", she reminds me so much of him. When she runs from Shamrock in fear, it is EXACTLY like him. The way she waits to eat and scarfs up dry food is just like him, too. She is almost Shadow incarnate. I guess there is a reason I used to call her "Baby Shadow" when she was a small feral eating from the food bowl outside.

KLUNK! ;-) Cathy You know this is odd because Squeekers (male) & Mushkins (female) which are 1/2 brother & sister always are cuddled up together in the cat bed or where ever else they choose. It's rare to find one without the other. It's when Mushkins & Spot get together that it's a rare moment. And Squeekers & Spot hardly ever cuddle at all.

That would just be amazing! LOL. Never.

However, compared to 5 years ago - or even 2? - 3, it's Utopia around here, re: their relationship. Cathy |
