I have 6 cats, 1 male and 5 females all fixed, all house cats. Gary the tom will chase Isis around whenever he feels she invading his space. They never fight it out, Isis just runs away. They're both very social.
When one of the other females is just minding her own business, getting a drink or getting a scratch from me, Isis will walk up behind them and meow and swipe at them from behind.
I'm thinking there's a pecking order going on. Gary picks on Isis so Isis figures she needs to pick on someone else. She won't go after Gary, she avoids him when he doesn't feel like chasing her. Maybe Isis is annoyed when I'm giving attention to another cat I should be giving to her?
Gary is a big baby, 20 lbs at least and Isis melts like butter in my arms.
I don't see any of this as a problem. I just get a little annoyed at their picking on one another.
I'm just curious about other peoples experience and opinions that have several cats. Thanks
