I think they accept each other as family members. Every once in while they do fight though.

Well, at least there's an entertainment value every once in a while.  My old Woots was a real scratcher, it wanted to fight me when I stroked it.  It's daft claws got stuck on my fleece top many a time.  It was a naughty Woots.

I'd say "they accept each other as family members, therefore every once in while they do fight."   ;D

Another active day! Charlie (age 14). My cousin's cat is 20. I guess we are lucky - our neighbour's sweet three year old orange coloured cat (who was always in our garden) was run over and killed a week or two ago.

Thanks Bruce. Actually I just noticed that I posted it upside down  ::)

There's more drama in it being upside down Jeffrey.  Poor Charlie looks like he's on his way out of the duvet and fighting against being groundward bound.  I now MUST find pics of my silly Woots to post here, because I started the thread and haven't contributed anything!  :-[

That happened to us too often when I was growing up, and now that I have cats of my own, I have built them this run in the backyard.  The second photo shows you how they leave the house via a cat flap which leads into an exit box, then there's a tunnel under a garden path that leads them into the run proper.  The photos are from "Opening Day" three years ago.

Yes John. I think that Woots needs to make an appearance here - preferably standing on a Do-It-Yourself Taoist Journal  ;D

Goodness me - what an impressive feat of constructions! Your cats are lucky to have such a caring owner. Personally if I attempt to put up a kitchen-roll holder it immediately falls down  ::)

Errr, the only bit I built personally is the wooden "roof" of the tunnel.  That also happens to be the only bit that's required any maintenance in the last three years  :)

I am still impressed. My wife has purchased a solar-powered bird bath today. I'm sure that this will provide Charlie with hours of fun  ;D

Your cats are lucky to have you as an um... friend . My cats are now staying indoor and this is all I can offer to them.

I have a new Woots.  ;D  ;D
It is a wee kitten, and is seen here in a furious rage trying to maul the carpet.  This Woots is very fond of me, and I of it.
