Wonderful post. Perhaps with two, they will take it out on each other more? I originally adopted two sisters, Missy and Sissy, who were feral. I intended for them to be indoor cats, but I got tired of seeing them plastered halfway up the screen door. Sissy is still afraid of everything, but while a kitten, if her sister were outside and we were intending to sleep, Sissy would call her so loudly and plaintively, that I would need to go outside to search for Missy. At times, Sissy would sneak out also, and it was nearly impossible to convince her that Missy was now indoors. And outdoors she was just as disruptive to sleep.

Cats also figure out who is the "softie" in the neghborhood. They see your cats, and insist on moving in. Now that Sissy is old, and content to be indoors, I no longer have a shelter for refugee cats. My maximum was five at one time. I won't put food outdoors, due to racoons in the neighborhood.
