Hi there, newbie here! This may be quite a lengthy post but I’m hoping someone has some advice! So we rescued a feral kitten who was approx 6 weeks old, he didn’t stop hissing and spitting the first night, but by the next morning he was completely fine and even sat on our knees and has been the same ever since. We have 2 other cats (1 male 1 female) so we were very careful when we slowly started introducing them (they’ve always had separate sleeping areas, litter trays and bowls etc). Gradually we started introducing them, the female seemed to accept him quite quickly so within about a week they were playing together. The male wasn’t so quick to accept but we kind of expected that as he’s pretty grumpy most of the time anyway. So they got or really well for almost 2 months, then suddenly about 2 weeks ago our female completely changed. She will not go anywhere near him, not even in the same part of the house it’s like she’s completely terrified of him. The male is more friendly towards him than he was at the start, but he’s not a playful cat anyway so we just feel so bad that now he’s got no one to play with! Our only theory is that either he was so small when we got him and she didn’t even realise that it was another cat she was playing with or that it’s something to do with his scent changing, but she gets on fine with the other male so we just don’t know. Any advice or suggestions welcome, we just have no idea what to do! Thanks, Lana
