Indigo is becoming daily more accustomed to the other cats. She doesn’t like them and, I think, doesn’t like other cats in general. But she is getting used to them, which means that she would not necessarily have to be adopted as an only-cat. I believe she would do quite well with older felines who don’t really want to interact that much, like my Neville.
If Indie didn’t want anything to do with the other beasts, she would remain in the library day and night. But she clearly wishes to widen her world, even at the expense of having to relate to others. Here, she is tolerating Tempo’s presence. A few minutes later, there was hissing and manifest displeasure. Indigo has actually chased Temps out of the library on more than one occasion, moving pretty swiftly for a middle-aged cat. I don’t mind Indigo establishing her place in the hierarchy. She doesn’t want to cause mischief, so if she takes a position above those who do, I won’t be upset.

ReplyDeleteThey will teach each other.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. So the photo caught the calm before the storm?
ReplyDeleteLet's call it a 'storm warning'...
DeleteI'm glad to see Indigo is tolerating the other cats, even temporarily.
ReplyDeleteI hope she eventually finds a forever home where she can be Queen of the House, with no other pets. But it's great she's learning to tolerate her housemates.
ReplyDeleteSquaring off for the next round. Sooner or later they will declare themselves the winner.
ReplyDeleteTolerating is a good compromise.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that Indigo feels better around the other cats, but when it comes to the library that is her place and other cats are only allowed there when it suits Indie.
ReplyDeleteIt appears that Indigo will tolerate other cats - as long as she can be in charge.
ReplyDeleteShe is starting to consider herself part of the family
ReplyDeleteI think she's me as a cat. I feel you girl.
ReplyDeleteJostling for the top cat spot, eh?? Well, if it can work out so everyone seems happy, then why not!
ReplyDeleteMy Suki was like that...it was her way or the WHAP way with her, all the years she was with us!
