Cats are not asocial, they will live in large colonies where resources are plentiful and they do develop [[Feline Social Behaviour|affiliative relationships]] with each other. So, distance reducing behaviours are an essential part of communication that allows cats to approach one another.
Cats are not asocial, they will live in large colonies where resources are plentiful and they do develop [[Feline Social Behaviour|affiliative relationships]] with each other. So, distance reducing behaviours are an essential part of communication that allows cats to approach one another.
This is particularly important when we consider that cats have evolved a system of establishing group identity using odour, through '''allorubbing''' and '''allogrooming'''. It would not be possible to establish a group odour if cats did not have some communicative mechanism for reducing distance.
