How She Is Among Them

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.

  4. I'm glad to see Indigo is tolerating the other cats, even temporarily.

  5. I 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.

  6. Squaring off for the next round. Sooner or later they will declare themselves the winner.

  7. It'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.

  8. It appears that Indigo will tolerate other cats - as long as she can be in charge.

  11. Jostling for the top cat spot, eh?? Well, if it can work out so everyone seems happy, then why not!
    My Suki was like that...it was her way or the WHAP way with her, all the years she was with us!
