Would love to see kitties interact with each other

Interactions are tricky. The Koinup photo website doesn't seem to allow hot linking, so here's a cold link to what can happen currently when two KittyCatS collide:

Hm. If moving interactions are too tricky or will take a long time to develop, how about starting with one in which a cat can detect and lie down next to another close enough as if sharing warmth? That may not be *too* different from the coding of how they already interact with the Scratch-n-Play Post. The find- and- lie- next- to action itself would only be performed by one cat.

Wot? You mean the normal sized kitty wasn't jealous of the teacup and wasn't photobombing it on purpose? :-o

Seriously though, I think your suggestion would be a good reasonable first step towards kitty-kitty interaction, Lib.

And there's always imagination in the meantime; my friend and I make up stories about why kitties are gathered like that at one of a number of scratching posts they have available rather than using others (the "water-cooler behaviour") , or why they're sticking their tongues (basically trying to give meaning to anything they do LOL)

That's a great suggestion!
