Introducing me and my cats

There hasn't really been a plan to this in the past! But we've usually had a second kitten when the older one was about 9 -10 months and they've generally got on well. The down-side is that the 2 cats grow old at the same time. The exception was Domino, a cat of shall we say "limited" intelligence? She formed a very strong attachment to the cocker spaniel we had at the time, so we decided to keep her as a "singleton" cat.

Yes you are right about them growing old together my two hae grown old together and now I am facing heartbreaking times almost on top of each other, however I also know on the up side they couldn't have had a better life.

And I am not sure about the limited intelligence idea for forming a strong attachment to a cocker spaniel I know quite a few people who have formed strong attachments to cockers

and they are seemingly intelligent

people.

The thing about Domino was that I believe she truly thought the dog was just another cat and spent ages washing her, always looking astonished that the dog didn't purr! The "limited intelligence" thing really showed up in Domino's habit of sitting on the white line in the middle of the road to wash herself whenever she got out of the garden!!

I just now found this thread...belated welcome to Catpages!! Your cats are lovely...and the flower arrangement was beautiful also. That's one of my hobbies. Hope you enjoy it here!

If you *must* wash in the road, surely the white line is one of the safer places?

Domino sounds like a real character.
