The photo challenge topic of the week is FRIENDS.
We have two cats. They love each other – they hate each other. We had Frieda first and later obtained Jasmine for her because we thought she was lonely. Frieda was not impressed.
The pecking order is firmly established: Frieda rules the roost, and Jasmine often hides in the outskirts. They squabble over laps, stalk each other, Frieda attacks; but they eat together, lie in sunny spots together, and when it’s cold, they sleep together in a big furry clump.
In this picture from last fall, they share the window sill (as they often do), facing away from one another, but touching bottoms. So, although I can’t be certain, it seems this love-hate relationship equals a friendship of their own feline fashion.
Thanks to the lovely creators of this challenge:

Love the ‘bookend’s. I had the same situation with cats – they never did get as close as yours.

They are such funny creatures, aren’t they? We never know who will be at which end of the chase!

Lovely pictures of these felines – thank you for sharing!
Enjoy them both, as I did my pair of similarly acquired felines of a-a-ages ago!

Oh we so enjoy them, unless they’re being annoying (what?!), and then we tolerate them until their next moment of cuteness when all is forgiven. 😉

I do think they’re buddies, in their own way. So glad you like the picture!

I was never quite sure if our cats loved or hated each other. Good to hear it wasn’t just here. Your cats look gorgeous.

Haha, it is difficult to tell at times! Little Jasmine is more willing to be friendly, but old lady Frieda is so persnickety. And they thank you for the compliment.

Never thought of it that way! But you just might be right….give a little, take a little (or a lot – hehe).

Such sweet pictures! My cats seem to have the same sort of complicated relationship–they often sit together for snog-fests that inevitably become wrestling matches. They always come back for more, though.

Oh those wrestling matches come out of nowhere, don’t they! Crazy creatures. And of course, we tell them how lovely they are, no matter what. Crazy humans? Never!

I know a cat that chased the young pretender out of the house. It had to go.

Those “in-charge” cats certainly know how to get their point across! Poor little pretender. 😉

I have so many similar photos of my cats. It’s so funny how they can squabble one minute and be curled up together the next.

Oh goodness, I’m embarrassed to admit how many cat photos I have (and how many I post). But they’re just so entertaining, aren’t they. 🙂
