Black Cat Surprise

[robby]

He was sleeping in the sun, right alongside my other two males.

It was dinner time, so I fed all the cats at their usual spot.

The black cat has a spot, and went over to eat.

No drama at all.

I'm starting to realize how social cats are, and how maybe that was a draw for the black cat.

If you remember, Cali made a point of moving in with the original three cats, and now the black cat seems to have done the same.

Cats aren't particularly social, though.

I suspect they recognize the space you've provided is a safe (albeit shared) space.

And it's pretty wonderful of you to have done that.

I've been reading a bit, and domestic cats seem to be a bit of an anomaly. They can form groups around a human feeding them.

Just like dogs are different than wolves, perhaps cats over thousands of generations had become more adaptable.

I have a core group of three, that may be litter mates, and two other cats that seem to deliberately choose to live side-by-side.

Im happy for the black cat, looks like he might be staying.

He could show up just for meals, but he seems to want to hang out with the other cats.

The black cat seems to like the company.

Yes, I've been reading about domestic cats, and some researchers feel that over the thousands of years that they've lived with humans, they're become more social than wild felines.
