Do Neighborhood Cats Get Along?

Strange new cats in the neighbourhood.
This is because cats that know each another tend to try to tolerate each other, especially if they have enough resources to go around. Over time, some groups of cats can work out ways to “share” territory between them.

Can neighborhood cats be friends?

It takes most cats eight to 12 months to develop a friendship with a new cat. Although some cats certainly become close friends, others never do. Many cats who don't become buddies learn to avoid each other, but some cats fight when introduced and continue to do so until one of the cats must be re-homed.

Do cats make friends with other cats outside?

The answer is yes. Well, probably. Domestic cats, in general, tend to be more social than wild and feral cats. ... Remember, cats don't make friends the same way we do, and in some situations, it might be necessary to remove a cat for its own safety.
