My feral cats are wired to be nemesis to each other. It’s a limited ecosystem with limited resources and they’re in natural competition for survival, and if one is getting something, the other feels left out. So they fight about it. They fight about everything.
But after they’ve all been fed, and they’ve all been petted. They can get along and grudgingly co-exist with each other. At least for a short while.
Ace Backwords is a former cartoonist, writer and semi-normal human being. He's been sleeping in the bushes in the Berkeley hills for the last ten years with his four feral cats, Moo Cat, Fatty, Mini Scaredy and Micro Scaredy. Future plans include growing old and dying. Preferably in that order.
