How do I know if my cats like each other?
Cats with a close bond will usually display obvious signs that they consider themselves to be part of the same ‘social group’. These signs might include grooming each other, rubbing their bodies together and sleeping or lying right next to each other. They may greet each other regularly by touching noses or by a small meow as they pass.

How do I know if my cats aren’t getting along?
As cats are not social in the same way that people or dogs are, they have a limited way of communicating their feelings.
Tension between cats living together isn’t very obvious, so it’s important to be aware of some of the more subtle behaviours that may indicate a lack of harmony. These may include:
• over-grooming
• over-eating or under-eating
• hiding
• avoiding the other cat/cats
• changes in character such as not wanting to play as much or seek as much attention from you
• soiling and/or urine spraying around the home
You may also notice that one cat might block another from accessing important resources such as cat flaps, walkways, litter trays and food.
Although most cats would prefer to avoid serious fighting, you may see some hissing, yowling or chasing. Some cats will get into fights if they feel that there is no other option and it’s important to seek help if this is the case as cat scratches and bites can be serious.
