Is there a website or book that gives detailed information on the ranks of cats in a household? I'd like to know how to tell the ranks (alpha, beta, omega) of my cats. Most websites only give a little information. Some websites give incorrect information by pet owners who don't truly understand the ranks and the behaviors.

Cat politics is an interesting topic.

I know who is #1 cat in my house.  She always sits in the highest position in the room, is first too eat and ALWAYS sleeps on my pillow.  She was that way from the first day I had her as a kitten.  Her name is Badness and it fits. 

Tucker is #2 but is trying very hard to take over but Badness won't have any of it.  He sleeps in the middle of the bed and is second to eat.  Every now and then he and Badness get into a swatting fight.  Badness flops over onto the ground and show all four paws ready to go and Tucker leaves.  Many people think when cats roll over like this in a fight it means they are being submissive.  It doesn't.  It means they are ready to ruff and tumble, all 5 sets of weapons ready to go (teeth and claws).

Poor little Scrappy is last.  Sometimes she will sleep in the bed but most of the time she sleeps in the closet.  She eats last or off by herself, away from the tension of Badness and Tucker.
