Hi everyone,
We just brought home a 4th cat, Whitey (Whitey Pics).
Of course we expect our cats to be upset. However I have a couple of question:
1) Since Whitey's arrival, Patches has not only been growling at him, but also at Beauty whom she has known all her life. Why?
2) Luna was previously the only cat that jumped up onto window sills, tables, etc as Patches and Beauty were never brought up with high stuff to jump on. Whitey (as we have found out) LOVES to sit up on the window sill and basically do what Luna does. Luna growls and hisses at him. I'm hoping this will eventually subside. (not a question, I know, but your thoughts?)
3) This is the first house that Whitey is sharing with other cats. He has adjusted wonderfully dispite the grumpiness of our other cats. However one thing we're not quite so sure on: whenever one goes to the bathroom he follows that cat in and watches them (doesn't get in the litter with them, but will watch them). We've been picking him up, moving him out of the room (or when he begins to follow) and firmly say "No" to train him not to do this, but what is the reason or theory behind this behaviour?
THANKS in advance for any feedback!!!
