Will our two cats ever get along well enough to leave them alone together? Right now we have them out whenever we are home. The older cat will be on the bed, under the bed sleeping, or in a chair in the living room sleeping or sitting. The kitten will try to play with him on the chair (and get a...
Hello again. So it’s been some time. Still have our 17yo and now 10(?)wk old. We did separating, feeding together, the whole shebang. They could care less about each other if there are food or treats to be had.
