Post 1548: sharing the recliner…

Andy and I miss Dougy
“I see you!” An uneasy truce. The kitty boys warily share the recliner.
Dougy isn’t happy about it, however.
Next thing you know, they’ll be sleeping together in it
Believe it or not, there are times when one will be sleeping on the footrest, another on the arm, and me in the seat. As long as I’m there to moderate, they generally tolerate sharing as long as Andy doesn’t get too close to Dougy’s ottoman.
That’s right. I forgot about the non-negotiable ottoman
Andy occasionally steps on it on his way to the light stand or the recliner, but he looks all around first…!
Poor Dougy! Andy is giving him a defiant look from the arm of the recliner. It doesn’t look like they have left much room for you, Doug! 🙂
There isn’t, but they know I out rank them if i choose to sit there!
The recliner, still the best sitting area (forever)!
Andy, Dougy, and I all agree!
Dougy does not look happy at all!
Not when it comes to sharing…!
Are they siblings from the same litter? I have mixed results with “sharing” in my group of 4. Sometimes it’s ok and other times one cat pushes the other off.
Yes, they are littermates, born July 1, 2011. There was one in the litter that was born dead, another brother, and a sister. The brother and sister ended up together in a home in South Dakota, where they hate each other, I understand!
I always thought siblings got along better. Maybe not. Just like humans!
I’ve heard different things. I’ve heard that two related neutered male kitties do best together and related male-female kitties are the worst. I know that the person who had the kitty boys’ mother noticed Andy and Dougy played well together was wee kittens, and that is why she offered Dougy to me after I already had Andy. It’s worked out well! Their brother and sister reportedly don’t get along as adult cats. I think the main thing must be to observe how kittens play together and chose the two that play well together. I’m no expert.
Gracie, my newest, did not get along with her brother at the shelter. They thought they were about 2 years old. They were rescued with a large group of cats from a hoarding situation. Sounds like fits what you are saying.
I don’t recall any situations where brother-sister combinations worked, though I suppose there could be exceptions.
Mark this day on the calendar 🙂
LOL! Later on, Dougy resisted letting me have the recliner back after I got up to get something I needed to finish some paperwork. Bad kitty ! (I took advantage of my larger sie and took it back.)
I can understand that. When I’m looking to relax, I don’t want to bothered either. My boy takes after me once again.
We all are little prima donas in this home!
Sharing is very over rated…I don’t like sharing either. Love your face Dougy! You look like me first thing in the morning. mol
Shoko
MOL indeed! I don’t think I look that hot either, but Andy wakes up looking like a little angel!
that’s nice to share… but just between us Dougy… I mostly don’t like sharing…;o)
Dougy and Andy don’t see the point of it, either!
