I know a fair few housecats who live in groups - I believe we have a few members whose cats do, and my lot (although they're a group of 3 atm) do. They all have clearly delineated tasks and ranks, and essentially when Jigsaw (the female) is about, they all cater to her needs (even though she's a bit of an airhead ). Cats, however, communicate in ways humans don't (and vice versa). I know two cats who live together and have done since the male was a kitten. They don't seem fond of one another until one is at the vet's - then the one left behind pines and obviously worries until the first one's back. |

That was a fascinating story & I can't begin to explain it...telepathy of some sort? In my limited experience, cats mostly vocalize to their people; they communicate with one another more by body language...ear position, tails, hisses, scent markings, etc. Another one of life's mysteries, I guess.... |

My cats definitely talk to one another, especially Maud. She will wander round the house 'calling' Claude and Clooney and when she finds them she makes little contented meows as if to say 'hello, that's where you are' She used to talk to her kittens all the time to the point we often had to tell her to be quiet as she would wake them up |

See she didn't call to him she went to him so maybe the body language had something to do with it also maybe previously maybe she had his scent on her - as he'd beat her up before. Odd |

I think they "communicate" somehow. But it is not so obvious as vocally. I think the way they look or move communicates messages. Things we see them doing as a normal movement may mean something completely different to them. I know Chloe has learned to say "hello" to me when i say hello to her, but she doesnt do this to Misty (she reserves her vocals for humans). She has the understanding of communication so must be able to do it within her own species. Great thread! |
