Some cats seem to have invisible friends. Have you ever watched your cat play, dart, dodge, leap and swat at something unseen? I\u2019ve often wondered if Olivia has an invisible friend. She has Sophie, our 16 year old cat, and the two of them have developed a nice friendship. Over the years, we\u2019ve had multiple cats. Some made friends with each other, some tolerated each other, and some avoided each other. You never know what a cat\u2019s reaction to another animal will be.<\/p>\n<p>In my Klepto Cat and Calico Cat Mysteries Rags and Olivia <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3842\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kittenpony-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kittenpony-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kittenpony-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kittenpony.jpeg 637w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>both have friends of other species. Well, these cats are adaptable and friendly because that\u2019s the way I want them to be. In my stories, I\u2019m in charge. One of Rags\u2019s best friends is a horse. And this is not unusual. Where there are horses there are usually cats. They\u2019re known as barn cats and they often find refuge or camaraderie among the horses, cows, chickens, goats. It\u2019s a beautiful thing to see a cat involved in a lovely friendship with another animal and most interesting especially when the animal is from another species.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a site you might enjoy where you\u2019ll see videos of cats making friends with a variety of other animals\u2014ducks, owls, pigs and even a capybara.
