hi there, just wondering if cats make friends?
my cat/kitten(8 monthes old) has a "friend"? initially i thought it was a tom after her, as she is not spayed. but this cat is still coming "calling "for her. i know it sounds strange but it sits on the window sill in morning as if waiting for her to come and play and again in evening. surely a tom just uses a females body and then thats it? and if its a castrated tom it would not get her smell?
i have tried to look closely and it looks like a female to me. I have watched them in our garden and they really do play (chasing each other,etc)
I just feel its unusual as cats are supposed to be terretorial. It makes me smile thinking she has a friend. also weird my cat knows when she is outside door waiting?????

I had a cat that came home with a friend years ago and waited outside the backdoor while my cat came in to have his dinner. It would also seem to tap the cat flap sometimes like it was knocking for him...lol

I have a friend who's cat plays with a cat 5 doors up from them.
the cat comes and sits on my friends window sill waiting for milly to go out and play with her.They are both spayed queens

thankyou for your replies. it is such a good feeling thinking she has a friend, especially as she lost her sister on xmas eve to FIP they used to play so great together and i now feel she has found someone to play with.
good to know other cats make friends too, maybe they are more like us than we think. Although cats are very intellegent so they probably know more than us anyway??

Yes cats are very intelligent but tend not to always come across as being such because they can be ignorant too.
