I know people say cats a re solitary animals but my experience has shown that to be a load of horse crap. OK, well not entirely. My Siamese is a bitter pissed ff ***** and does not like other cats (not sure she likes the humans either. She does have a weird thing going with the Shelty that involves ass sniffing but that's another thread. The others and past cats I have had all enjoyed the company of other cats and us human care takers.

We have tried the water treatment but do to lack of consistent enforcement (not like I have it in a holster for immediate use) the cats kind of look at me with that kiss my petty furry butt. The 17lb main coon mix looks at us with a "really?" look and could care less about getting sprayed with water.
