Do they all get on or do two gang up on the other?

We have two black sisters, five years old, one of them a polydactyl mitten-kitten--that's Sibyl. She is BIG, not fat, weighs almost 14 lbs. Her sister, Spooky, weighs in at about 10. Sibyl is a sweetheart, Spooky extremely shy. Both were feral kittens, adopted from a rescuer after a car ran over their mother. They are sturdy, apple-head cats, looking a bit like Puss'N'Boots in their broad, short-legged build. Sibyl likes to run up and down the basement stairs playing with her favorite ball, wailing like an opera singer the entire time. Spooky doesn't have much to say.
Grace is about 1 year old, also a feral kitten--abandoned in a tree, mother probably taken by a coyote or fox. She is a gray tabby with short, flannel-like fur, with black striping on dark gray: very striking. She weighs about 8 pounds, wedge-headed--the lean, long-legged and high-speed model. Grace joined us to help fill the void of a beloved chocolate point Siamese--Noel--who died last year at the age of 23.
Grace totally dominates and badgers the older, larger cats--go figure.
She has such speed, energy and aggression that she completely unnerves the other two and has since she arrived as a barely-weaned (from the rescuer's bottle) kitten. Also, she doesn't meow, ever, but trills and chirps musically: when she's in pursuit of Sibyl or Spooky, she crows like a tiny rooster. She knocks her water over so she can slide around in it. Maybe those things freak them out, too.
I tell my wife Grace is the kitten who fell from the sky. I've lived with cats for more than 50 years, and Grace is definitely unusual. We wonder if she has some exotic breed in her ancestry.

Re: Cat Moose for Halloween
I've got to ask: did you not get clawed to fuck putting that outfit on the puss?
That's not one of my currently five cats, or any of my other four past cats). It's just something I found at I Can Has Cheezburger? - Funny Animals Online - Cheezburger.
It's hard to say how my cats would respond to getting dressed up as such. I think one would easily permit it and a couple would really resist.
I refer you to another oldie but goody topic started back in 2004:

Re: You gentlemen with cats might need this
Omnicat walks behind the screen, flehming the area carefully, crouching low as he comes back around. He stops and regards the ugly monkey carefully. The fur bristles slightly on his hackles and face; his whiskers pull back, his snout shifts forward slightly as he flehms the air again. 'A dog would click it', he growls, and licks his balls. He waits.

Re: You gentlemen with cats might need this
Ok. That is disturbing on quite a few levels.
It is interesting how close funny and disturbing can be to each other.

It has already updated for me. Your problem was with your browser cache.
What I do, after an avatar update, is click on the avatar to the the full image. Then I used "shift reload" in my browser to force an update. Thereafter, I see the updated avatar. However, I didn't have to do that for your avatar.

Done!
I found an old pic of a jack o'lantern I carved a few years ago.
