When we first took in our pair of tabbies (New kittens!!! – Nov., 2019), they were isolated in the spare room until they were acclimatized. That was their safe room, this poor abandoned pair found at the side of the highway. Eventually, they roamed the house. Pets like to sleep on beds!
Annabelle didn't like Nutmeg. They would hop up on our bed at bedtime, and the Annie would go after her. It was female/female aggression. Annie (adopted in 2015) was rehomed. Annabelle tried to stare Nutmeg down, but Meggie ignored her. Annie didn't like this power struggle.
Nutmeg stopped sleeping with us once the bullying began. Cinnamon hung in there. It is only recently, February, 2023, that we've noticed Nutmeg choosing the bed. She takes her position, sometimes before I am in bed. JB cannot read in bed anymore. Sad to say.
