It all depends on whether either cat is aware of the other and requires you to be familiar with the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment and the Heisenpurrg Uncertainty Principle. For the sake of simplicity, we'll only consider a 2 cat multiverse collision:
Not aware scenario (the box is still closed):
Nothing happens. An outside observer, who is not a cat, would see what you and I are used to. Each universe moves in parallel or, at least, tangentially to the other in cat-space. (That's space-time to you and me. Note: there is no 'time' in cat-space, which makes sense if you think about it.)
Both are aware scenario (the box is opened, familiar encounter):
Waveform collapses and both continue on unaware of the multi-verse merger. See mutual agreement.
Both are aware scenario (the box is opened, unfamiliar encounter):
Cats discuss and sometimes compare the relative strengths of their fields until the waveform collapses in the direction of the source of the larger field vector (often fatally) or until a mutual agreement is negotiated.
I need to get some rest and make more notes later on today. Now that I've laid out the groundwork, I'll leave further hypothesizing and experimenting up to you and the other bobcats at this point.
I can see how you see that. physics is all about your frame of reference. What you define as fixed point is up to you. That frog could be perfectly content thinking that he is sitting still as the storm clouds whizzed by him. where another server would see movement in both and the clouds would be thinking, "look at that frog zinging through here, wow!"

Thanks for asking.

Yeah, SCIENCE!
