Misty would constantly be looking around for him, when he got close which he often did she would hiss and growl. She even started hissing at us and when he wasn't even in the room. This is the same now as when we first got him 3 months at a.
It's been very hard for us, and heart breaking to have to return him. I know it works for others but don't expect it to be easy, it does take time. In my case I think the cats were such opposites, but you don't know that at the time.
He's not a kitten, no I can't be 100% sure but she has been extremely stressed since I got him. She's like a different cat, she had already been eating less using the litter tray less before she got sick
I have been so upset and he's not gone yet, Misty is just so ill and Smokey cries to leave the room. It's not fair to either of them, they are such opposites I don't think it will work. There will always be what ifs but I know I did everything possible. It's not fair for him to be locked up in...

It would be to expensive, I've spoken to my vet and they just say to give it time, advised that it could take as long as six months although sometimes it just doesn't work out. I wish I had a crystal ball lol. I do play with Smokey to tire him out as he's full of energy, then he will just sleep...
When I made the decision to get a cat from a rescue, it wasn't taken lightly as I know he had been through a lot. I feel strongly that I must at least give it a good chance. Of course I also have Misty to think of, which makes it all the more difficult. I have read many different accounts of...
