I can’t decide if our two cats like each other or not. One minute they’re laying on the floor, facing each other, about four feet apart. The next they are hissing and spitting. There are blows exchanged, but no battle scars so I doubt their ferocity.

One of the funniest things they do I call the Door Dance. The doors of our home are full length glass. When one is outside and the other inside, we hear a scraping sound and growling. They have just performed the dance. I have never understood if they are really fighting or just notifying their humans the other cat wants in. I clean the glass often and sometimes come home from work to find paw prints smeared across the panes.

The two cats did this for about a year but recently, I’ve noticed they’ve stopped. They stopped as suddenly as they started. Does anyone understand the mind of a cat?
