43% of cats live in a multi-cat household. Cats are independent by nature. Felidae (the biological family of cats) are solitary predators that, with the exception of lions, do not live in socially structured groups. However, while the wildcat ancestors of domestic cats are solitary animals, the social behaviour of domestic cats is more variable depending primarily on the density of cats in the area and availability of food sources. Felis catus (the species that is the domestic cat) has proved to be a remarkably adaptable species, and while retaining its roots as a solitary hunter, in a number of situations (both natural and artificial) will adapt to group living through the development of social structures.

Jamey EkinsHey there, I'm Jamey, and I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a 50-acre farm in Ontario, Canada, I was surrounded by a menagerie of furry friends, from beloved cats and dogs to goats, horses, cows, and even chickens. Now, I call Victoria, British Columbia my home, and my heart belongs to my adorable Balinese cat, Milo. When I'm not editing blog posts here at TechnoMEOW, I enjoy helping solo entrepreneurs with their passion projects and online marketing. Over the years, I've also ventured into creating and selling various blogs. Beyond the digital world, I'm an avid crochet and knitting enthusiast and share my crafty creations on my blog, doublecrochet.com.
