Question about cacti behaviour...

Hi, my friend had 2 small dwarf-cactus that she got from a garden centre. Recently she got a young spychoactive cactus, so she put it amongst the other two, making a triangle shape.
After a few weeks time, the one of the 2 cacti gave a sweet hug to the psychoactive one.
It is now leaning nearly over the psychoactive one, by bending its body very much..... In the beggining i thought that someone stepped on the cacti that was over the other.....
Does anyone know anything about this incident?
Do cacti behave in such a friendly way generally??
Is this normal???
Thanx!

Hi DazedSol! Nice to see you after so much time! 
Well actually...she never turned the pot, but even if she did, the small cactus, has changed its position completely . It is not standing anymore!! It is just leaning over the psychoactive cactus pot as if it was a human giving a hug to a shorter person.
And the light was and is in the opposite direction.... Picture will be here soon...

yeah, pretty weird. But sometimes when the ground is dry and the cactus hasn't a lot of roots they can start to lean over... and then it doesn't lean back again. don't know if this is it, but you never know Just feel the cactus and see for yourself if it's attached to the ground real good. wach the spines
