They are all so different and sometimes our expectations have
something to do with their actions/reactions. I have been blessed by
friends that get along, even if it takes a while for them to work
things out. Ebony and Mitu worked it out and they worked it out with
Mai Mai and Allie (two dogs who came alone separately and who worked
things out themselves). Kitty worked ti out with Dixie. Ebony and Mi
Tu worked it out with Sandy (another dog). All of us slept in the
same bed and they lived in peace. Now Copper and Thomas (male cats)
are working it out with Bob (a dog). Expectations have a lot to do
with adjustments in MHO. I have brought dogs in to care for them
while their Persons was vacationing etc.......it worked out.
Everything and everyone is different and I really believe that the
beliefs of the people involved have a lot to do with adjustments. If
we think it won't work..........well, it won't.

I recently saw a very sweet movie called "The Answer Man." I highly
recommend
it. In it, the lead female character said three things that she
lives by that I
totally love.
1) Never take advice from someone you wouldn't switch places with.
2) Try not to do anything you can't take back.
3) Something is what it is... and it's not something else.
#3 is how I approach cat relationships, or for that matter humans
too. It's
personalities and chemistry. Nothing more. And thank God for
that. It makes
life joyfully interesting. :)

Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] how to know if your "only" needs a friend?
I think it depends on the cat, I have knowns very sweet and friendly
female cats
who like being with other cats, I know some others on here made
genralizations
about female cats, but I wouldn't do that, I think it really depends
on the cat,
jsut like I don't liek to generalize about people.
