Do cats fight in groups? Like if there is a cat intruder in your house and you have 2 cats.
Are they going to fight side by side or only one of them is going to face the intruder cat?
When my neighbors cat enters the backyard my two cats suddenly turn into a crime fighting duo, even the dog gets in on the action, it’s all paws on deck against the intruder.
The rest of the time they’re all vying for control of their piece of the house.
Guess they hate the neighbor cat more than they hate each other,
A true family
Or the Holy Roman Empire
Or ancient Greece
I feel like they liked each other a bit more than that. A bit more ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sounds more like the 5 families than crime fighters.
If my mom's dog starts shit with the younger cat, the older one will lose his shit and attack the dog.
I think that depends on how they view the house as their territory
when we had a lot of cats and the occasional intruder cat, "duels" between one of ours and one intruder were most common. meet on neutral territory, hurl insults, maybe there's an attack but maybe not. and only after sufficient insults.
this was a specifically male behavior, too. we got a young female cat, and the 2 older males were horrified when she came and jumped their opponent. she was very no holds barred, get off my lawn, don't mess with my guys. a different time, a different young female cat was equally willing to jump in swinging claws and skip the insults.
typically the other male cats would be hanging around, observing and jumping in only if things moved from neutral ground to their territory.
When my roommate's dog chases my roommate's cat, my cat jumps in to defend him.
They do infact team up hell my cat army of 4 even protects their weaker friends I really don't know why my nabors cat continues to come into my lawn when he gets ganged up on by 3 of my 4 cats
We had two cats who wouldn't be in the same room as each other without hissing, but they teamed up to trap a neighbour's cat under my car one night.
