DCat has always had a friend - it used to be the cat over the road, then when he moved house we got a kitten to keep him company. They scrapped a bit but never rough, and would sleep side by side quite happily after a while.
Tragically our baby boy was killed in a road accident in September. Our hearts are broken.
Ever since big boy hasn’t stopped scratching the furniture and pestering for dreamies. Baby boy never scratched the furniture - he was scratch post only. He was crazy in his own way, and totally fearless, but not naughty really.
When I think of how long it took them to settle in to being playmates, and that big boy is older now at 4, I wonder if a new kitten is such a good idea?
They are BSH if that makes any difference. I have them because I’m not allergic to their breed.
