We have had two female cats living together for about 14 years. Actually we
started with one female tabby about 10 years old then we got a female kitten
Manx and they lived together for about ten years until the older one passed
away.We then took in our daughters cat for about two years. This was a male
tabby and they got along great. Four years ago we adopted a black Bobtail
female. Both are about the same age.

What we have found is with the female cats one of them is always trying to be
the boss no matter what. First its one then the other. Makes for some
interesting scenes.

When we had both a male and female cat they got along fine but there was alot
of rough housing.

Two cats in the same house should be no problem as long as follow a few simple
steps. Two litter boxes two food bowls. Just be prepared for each of them
trying to own out.

I am a brand new subscriber and have a question - we have had cats for
years, but never 2 until last year when we adopted a year old female, part
Russian Blue, after having to put down our 18 year old cat. She was a
shelter cat and had free run of the shelter, so she was lonely and we got a
4 month old male a couple of months later. He was very dominant right off
the bat and ambushed her constantly. They got along and played alot, but I
know there were times when she was not at all happy with the constant
ambushing. We also have 2 Labrador Retrievers and I believe Morris thinks
he's a dog and gets along famously with them. Anyway, the female cat
disappeared about 2 months ago. Morris is about a year old now and he's
really lonely. We're going to adopt another, but I'm curious whether it's
better to have 2 cats of the same sex or doesn't it matter if they are
neutered to begin with. Any thoughts? Susan
