They’ve been together since kittens
0101010001110100 ( @0101010001110100@sopuli.xyz ) 11•1 year agoI have two cats. Once I had a 4 houseguests staying in the living room for a week. After they left my one cat (the dumb one, obviously) didn’t recognize her sister anymore. At no point did any cat leave the premises.

Aiʞawa ( @Aikawa@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•1 year agoDo you respect the proper cat greeting etiquette: presenting one’s butt to the other’s nose?
I don’t see how her sniffing my butt would restore trust in her older sister, but I’ll give it a try.

brndnpink ( @brndnpink@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoWe have two cats and our name for this phenomenon is “other brother”. As in, each cat is convinced their brother has been replaced with a doppelganger that isn’t quite right. Hence, “other brother”.
