Does your cat have any friends?
Discussion
The reason I ask is that when one of our cats, who is sadly no longer with us, was quite young, she used to have another cat come to visit her, and the pair of them would go running around the field at the back of our house, having a great time.
Our other cat, still very much with us, is averse to feline visitors and will chase away any cat that doesn't have the bottle to advance directly towards him (it's all psychology with cats). From the human POV it seems a shame, especially because we have been visited quite a bit recently by a friendly young cat from next door, but of course as soon as he sees her she's off with him chasing after her (not too far, fortunately, as he is 18 and not up to extended chases.
Anyway, thinking about it made me wonder whether any of the many cats whose owners post on PH have any feline friends?

Ours doesnt, but i think thats down to the fact she is a moody b
h. She even chases the local squirrels, although god knows why as she normally doesnt go after anything bigger than a field mouse. What she will do if she catches one i have no idea, but if it gives her any grief, she will run straight back to the house, unlike the local cats, who she just tears lumps out of

You should see the amount of "Lost cat" posters up. I'd make a fortune if I could return their cat

'I have some good news and some bad news' you say as you stand on their doostep with one hand behind your back...
Our cat had a little ginger friend that came round for him every day. He would tap on the cat door, sometimes even coming into the house. They were as thick as thieves and always together.
Then the ginger cat was run over and killed.
Our cat clearly missed his friend for a while and has no close friend now.

Hmmm our two have a visitor who comes quite often.
Both of ours are 1 year old - this thing that comes to see them must be at least 10 / 11 - he's been in the wars as well - looks like a proper street brawler, missing bits of ear, matted fur, but a nice collar on with an address 4 doors down.
He turns up on our garden, rolls around on his back, purrs, makes a fuss, and completly ignores our attempts to ask him to leave.
He also ignores the fact that both of our cats are sat on the garden hissing and spitting at him.
He seems to think he belongs.
That or he's a predatory peadophillic cat.

My long deceased black cat used to have a best friend. He was a ginger called Peter and he would come sit on our doormat looking in through the glass frontdoor. We'd call "Shadow your boyfriends here!" and we'd let her out. The two of them would then just sit on the front lawn watching the world go by until evening when she would wander back in. Its good to hear other peoples cats do this.
Never saw him again after she died.

We had one that was thick as thiefs with our neighbours cat - they treated both houses as home! Would climb in and out of both through bedroom windows and all sorts of things together. They even had the neighbours roast that was defrosting 
He even went into their garden (or what had been - they'd moved away by then) the morning I was taking him to vet to be put down - I didn't think he had the strength to get out the house, let alone over a 6 foot fence!
