koyptakh	Posted Jul 31st, 2009 at 12:23AM Hi SummerWind18 I think that they compete on one level but at another level are social animals and are content as a group. I have 4 cats and they have a harmony but it is a dynamic harmony. Every now and again you see the peace amongst them but then they battle again. Funnily they do not compete much across the sexes. Boys compete with boys and girls with girls - maybe that true of humans too? :) Rated: +1Vote for this!

alicia87	Posted Jul 31st, 2009 at 11:27AM It depends on the cats. I have two boys who are close to the same age so they basically "grew up" together, and one girl who is several years older and doesn't like to be around other animals. The boys are pretty good about sharing their space, food, and toys, but the girl gets VERY angry and growls if the other cats come near her. It's a territory thing, I think. She was here first, why should she share the bed? But the other two have always shared space, so it's not a big deal. Rated: +1Vote for this!

jules76	Posted Aug 3rd, 2009 at 1:46PM Cats do not have packs the way dogs do. Cats have a pecking order, a dynamic heirarchy of who is more important. So while they can be social with each other, there are constantly changing limits in place. Rated: +1Vote for this!
