Pumpkin, Luna and Midnight My Cats

Luna is a smaller cat than her sister. She is black. But has a pretty large white circular fur spot under her neck. Therefore named her "luna" for a white moon. Also has white on her belly, and a small round white spot on the end of her tail. She is timid, but faithful and loving to only myself.

Third cat is all black, thus name "midnight'. We found out he is a Bombay cat . He is true to the breed. We got him from a friend who rescued him from euthanasia-for being a dangerous violent cat. For a week, he kneaded a sweater that came with him. He hissed at any person/cat/dog coming near. We called him "poky" as a joke for- Pissed Off Kitty. He turned out to be a character. He picked his person. Likes to be where family is. But strangely, little meek Luna is dominant. Not, the muscular, dense bodied male. She actually "Growls" at him, never heard it before in all my many cats. She also beats him up. She stands up on back legs and boxes like a kangaroo. She gets him good on the snout. They are an interesting group of cats and we love them. We also have two dogs as well, Molly- a Labradoodle and Bella a Chocolate Lab Mix.

Wow sounds like you have a house full. Cats don’t normally like to live with lots of other animals unless they have been brought up with them so it is good that your lot have decided to give it a go an live happily together.

Luna is obviously making sure that all the cast know she’s boss and not prepared to have any nonsense. Things will probably settle down as time goes on and all the animals get used to each other.
Pedigree cats like your Bombay cat are usually a little more aloof than mixed breed cats. So your Bombay cat is just displaying his natural breed traits.
I love all their names, looks like you put some thought into them and made sure they suited the cats. I hope Poky doesn’t always live up to his name all the time.
