I think the word "family" is more apt a word for what I'm trying to describe. All my animals interact with each other at some point. They're expected to tolerate each other and they do without my intervention for the most part, because we're a family. I take my lessons from Kit once again. For him, home is where the family is. The family can change over time, but once they're accepted into his family, he's not happy until they're all there. It's incredible how quickly he can settle in to a new place if his entire family is with him.
