hi all,
So I got my 4 year old boys about a year ago. They are declawed (I didn't do it-they came that way) litter mates and a bonded pair (or at least I was told they are). When I first got them they cuddled and wrestled much more than they do now and I am just wondering if that is normal. They will sleep near each other (usually on either side of me), look out the window together, sit in the same room, eat together without fuss, use the box if front of each other. On a few occasions I catch them bathing each other and cuddled up and sometimes they touch noses/sniff butts. They don't hide from each other and in general walk around the apartment with their tails in the air. They go through phases where they seem to romp a lot and then phases where not so much. When they do romp 70% of the time Felix starts it (I think Felix may be the alpha) but I see no blood, hissing etc. Sometimes they do "timeshare" stuff (like if one is sitting on me and the other comes over the first cat will leave but I don't see any major resource guarding). Is all good on the home front? I see lots of people with multiple cats posting pictures of them all cuddled up together all the time and I got a little worried that maybe mine where not actually getting along
