I agree, hopefully, the gate helps with things. And I'll make sure that she will be able to spend quality time with the rest of my family.
When Lily arrived she has slept in the room that he would usually sleep in. did not think that would be a problem since more than half the time he would cry...
My older cat definitely does not want to play with Lily. While taking Lily to my room she jumped out of my arms and decided to go downstairs where Ginger my older cat was, I tried to take her up in time, but he chased and attacked her. Maybe she’s already passed the kitten stage that prevents...
The vet was unable to do a full evaluation because she was in too much pain but they believe that it was a sprain. She was given antibiotics and pain medication and now she’s walking as if nothing happened
He has been leash trained before but it has been a while since he wore one. I’ll start...
Thank you, I took her to the vet just in case because I couldn’t bare to listen to her cries when she walks. It’s comforting to know that this is not unusual!
Okay! I’ll make sure she gets spayed as soon as possible.
I took this video after about three days of seeing each other. He had seen her a few times while she was in the dog crate. I thought by now he would have stopped attacking her through the cage..
Ohhhh.. that’s interesting, he does do...
If it was the kitten who hissed does that mean that it is safe for them to interact since there might be a chance that the older one will not hurt her or should I still wait a few more weeks? Also, If the older one was playing why would he then try to dig under the door to get to her a few hours...
Here are the links to the videos that I took:
Do you think that he is playing?
(Sorry about my mother yelling in the second video, that was when I stepped away for a few seconds)
I tried to get his attention by clapping, but it doesn't phase him.
That makes sense I could try that before I am ready to introduce them again. :)
Maybe I didn't allow Ginger to get used to her scent enough so because of that I could continue to use the blanket method. I'll be purchasing a baby gate soon to allow them to see each other often without having...
I was thinking that maybe it was his play style to be aggressive since he and his brother would play rough (kicking each other, tumbling, wrestling, and sitting on one another) but they would never swat at each other the way that Ginger does through the cage. The closest thing they did to that...
Hi, thank you for your reply and advice I will try and re introduce them again slowly.
Ginger is 6 years old and Lily is approximately 6 months old. Ginger can be an aggressive player but only with toys and never with other people; he never scratches or bites. He plays with feather like toys or...
Hi, I recently got a kitten (Lily) 3+ weeks ago to keep my cat (Ginger) company after his brother passed away almost a year ago and I believe that I followed the introduction protocol correctly:
1. I had the cats smell each other without seeing each other such as having them smell the room that...
