Hi everyone!
So I have two 5-year-old cats, Michi (female) and Remus (male) and I was always pretty questionable about their relationship. I had Michi(F) first and then my Remus (M) a few months later. I guess they're pretty indifferent to one another when they pass and I can't really tell whether or not they're friends or if they hate each other.
Sometimes Remus (M) would come up to Michi (F) while she's laying down and would stare her down. In response, Michi (F) would tense up, hiss or growl, dilated eyes, and would run. If she doesn't run, Remus (F) would pounce on her and put her in a hold where my female cat would sometimes yowl in protest. There would be a chunk of fur in his mouth or near them but I don't notice any blood or markings on her. Other than that, her yowls are mainly my concern.
They didn't do it often but they used to sleep together when they were younger. Nowadays, they only sleep next to each other on the bed. Michi (F) grooms Remus (M) and Remus (M) would try to groom her back and he would get a few licks until she'll swat or bite him away. They also seem like they play with each other where they would chase the other cat and vice versa at high speeds around the house. Sometimes there's noise (coming from either of them depending on who initiated), other times they're pretty quiet.
What do you guys think? They're also both fixed!
