We have 4 cats.
All have got on swimmingly well.
Old 14 year old Tortie (grumpy, but she is now short of sight) female
2 year old ginger ninjer rescue (no teeth - cat flu, but no issues and is really healthy) MALE
2 x Ragdol pedigrees, just coming upto 1 year old. Male cat is tall - matches our big tortie, but is 2 inches taller than his sister and the rescue male. Ragdolls are very fluffy so even little Luna looks bigger than the rescue short haired ginger tabby, Leo.
All got on fine, until recently. New neighbours, but they have what I'd call a Turkish cat - looks a bit like our male ragdoll but is small like the female (our male is white and grey, female grey) - neigbours cat white) , but has 1 blue one green eye. It's friendly enough but hisses like mad at ours. Our cats are all indoors - the old cat was an outdoor cat until losing her sight, but the rescue and the 'posh cats' are inside.
We do have a big cat run, so the younger cats can go out (we stop the old cat now after she fell in there) into the garden and around the perimeter.
Dynamics have changed since the neighbour's cat arrived. Leo the rescue, hisses and meows at our two raggies, especially Simba - the big male Ragdoll. We've put a plug in felliway friends in for a week, but not so sure what else to do.
They get on fine most of the day until evening. Then Leo get's snappy. It might be because he is that bit older and the younger two fluffy cats are in a crazy mood, or, the neighbour's cat has upset the balance.
@Reynard might be the expert here !!
