I want to get a companion cat for my cat, partially because he has so much energy and tries to play with me as if I were a cat.
Since I am not a cat, I thought it might work better if he had a cat to play with.
Also I want to limit his range as much as possible because I am dealing with predators, both animal and human.
Giving a male cat a female cat as a companion, to somehow encourage the male cat to stay closer to home - is that realistic thinking ?
I thought a female cat will tend to stay closer to home.
And then the male will try and stay close to her.
Especially if she is in heat. However that doesn't last very long.
Does a male cat bond more emotionally with a cat that he has sex with, in addition to being his daily companion ?
Again, "bond more emotionally" as in, he wants to stay close to her.
Cat co-habiting with Silkie. The bird weighs 1/2 pound, the cat weighs 8 1/2 pounds.
He is eating 8 ounces of raw beef heart a day, in addition to 1 can of cat food and a small amount of kibble.
When I was younger exercise gave me a very drug like rush. I would swim for 3 hours - usually after eating a cannabis cookie - because of the quality rush.
I figure running around the country-side, up and down the hills, gives the cats a similar rush. I just want to find a way to encourage them to limit their range.
