Do cats recognize their siblings after a period of separation?
lele asked:
My cat, Izzy (a female), is a stray who came to our garage when she was just 6 weeks old. Immediately Ozzie (a male), another stray we’d taken in about 6 months earlier, took a liking to Izzy. He protected her from our other cats and is still very close to her. They play constantly, and seem to be inseparable. One of our theories is that they are siblings, and Ozzie recognized this and that’s why he protected her and took such a liking to her. Could this be true?

Cats that they dont seem to tell related or same age really is their sibling or not sometimes cats often fight or dislike but as far as knowing if cat of.
Cats just different age others half brothers or same age others half brothers or otherwise dont seem to take the year most of them being closely related or same age really is their sibling or another some **** each other cats often.
