And these females are extremely friendly to each other. They groom each other. They lie on top of each other. They actually help raise each other's young.

And the males, when they grow up, they leave the pride, but the females stay put, so they're all related.

And that food might be because people are just putting food out for them, as happens in many places around the US and elsewhere.

Or it may be in places where, like fishing villages, where there are big piles of scraps that the cats eat. But in any case, the plentitude of food allows the cats to occur at a high density.

They even sometimes serve as a midwife and help during the birth of the kittens. And so they are very friendly to each other. Now, there will be multiple groups of cats in one place, and they're not friendly at all to members of other groups, but they are friendly to their own groups. So under some circumstances, cats can actually be very friendly to each other. One last thing.

But with that exception, there are no other wild species of cat that live in groups.
