Have 2 x rescue girls, 2.5 and nearly 2. One is thick as pigshit and very sociable and personable and always rolling over and chirruping at the other one to play. She came from a Romanian dog rescue charity and spent the first 18 months of her life in a shelter there with other cats and dogs, and was living in a house with cats and dogs when first fostered in the uk. The other was a stray from a local rescue, she is very very pretty but not keen on being handled - tolerates stroke and head rubs then hisses and buggers off and ignores all the Romanian's attempts to chase /play.
Romanian has taken to lurking then pouncing on stray from around corners. Stray swats her, Romanian rolls over and chirrups. Stray swats her again, hisses and walks away. Romanian follows stray eagerly, gets hissed at agai or death stares then gives up and bugs humans for attention.
Considering a male kitten to change up thy dynamic....viewing one tmrw a.m.
Grew up with 3 cats and best mate always has 5 or more cats.
I can't decide if no. 3 is a good idea or not.
