The cats were behaving perfectlyThe cats were getting along begrudinglyThe cats got into the worst fight everThe cats were sleeping fitfully
What was happening ?
At one time I had two cats who would hiss and spit and tear about when the other came near . It was quite an impressive show of conflict . When I moved into a small house the situation became even more unpleasant . I was awoken in the night by furious , exploding encounters .
