Mage, a medium sized orange tabby, is very jealous. He doesn't like
it when anyone pets Zero, a more lithe black cat. He'll deliberately
get up and go over to where anyone is petting Zero as well as come
from
anywhere in the house if he hears someone petting Zero. This means
Zero
doesn't get a lot of attention because if he meows for attention
inevitably jealous, green-eyed Mage shows up. What ends up happening
is Zero usually
ends up running away. Is this usual behaviour in multi-cat households?

No. Mine take tyrns on the lap. If one is on it, the others won't bother
them... The bed too... Usually only one at a time there too. The females
give their turns to the males, but the males won't shove the females
aside... They are more respectful, But they will all gang up on any outside
cat from down the block.... I have to kind of guard such cats while they are
in the house.....
