Remember that cats do not need to be social creatures

Yes they do - they are highly social creatures.

Try telling this to Matilda. Nothing she loves more (apart from her chow)
than to skin another cat. :c)

Indeed, but establishing their status in the local social order is
part of the social nature of cats.

- unlike the
pack-orientated dog; they function happily on their own without a social
structure around them.

No they do not, that is one of the most common causes of stress in
cats.

Oh I know! Matilda gets very stressed when she isn't able to socialize with
other cats in her special way. LOL

I know a couple of humans like that
