Adding a third cat?

[jessmarimba]

I'd also say totally cat dependent. My first one hates other cats with a passion - until she's alone in the house all day. So she isn't too fond of the third one I got. Fortunately, the third one loves all other living things (besides the plumber) with more passion than the first one hates them, so he wins her over occasionally. And when he doesn't, they just stay in separate rooms. The only squabbles we have at this point are over who gets my lap and the prime sleeping spot on my chest. Had the third one been any less cuddly we might have had problems.

(My second cat is utterly indifferent, as she doesn't think she's a cat).

(Just wanted to add, I think it worked here because the hierarchy was not disrupted - the male I got is totally submissive if it gets him attention/grooming. So I'd keep that in mind when looking - adding another alpha can cause problems)
