I don't think I sounded like I was giving up on Lisa. I'm just concerned that her FHS-like symptoms combined with the craziness could be generally bad for her even without the getting-along problem. But adding that in is additionally concerning. For now, I'm just monitoring them and stopping...

Has anyone had this kind of thing happen? It is a conditional fighting, i.e., only when Lisa is acting crazy and Callie approaches her. Maybe I just need to help Lisa habituate to Callie's approach under this specific condition, so that she learns Callie is not a threat and thus learns to play...

They had another incident tonight. Lisa (my resident cat) was running around the house real crazy from room to room. She ran into the living room and jumped up on the TV stand. She's so crazy you can hear her claws ripping the carpet when she turns corners - like the same thing that makes a...

I'm noticing that these "fights" happen when my cat gets very playful and runs around. Ex, when my cat is done in the litterbox, she runs around real crazy. Its normal. She doesn't necessarily have to do anything directly to Callie, but this crazy behavior is what is triggering Callie to do...

Mine learned the word "meat." If I say "want yer meat," she starts squeaking and rubbing against my legs. She walks over to her meat-spot and squeaks at me. Other long-e words do it too like 'feet' or 'heat' but not as strong as 'meat.' I posted videos of this somewhere on this site...

I called the vet today. They said the owner never called (which I figured), so Callie's officially mine. I have an appointment scheduled for more tests and vaccines on 1/3/23. I told them I want kidney tests because of the weird urinating a few weeks ago. In terms of the aggression, I'm just...

So I realize it's not just a change in my cat's reaction. Callie is going after my cat even from way across 2 rooms.

With the new behavioral problem, I think it's more of my cat's reaction changing. My cat does exhibit FHS symptoms, so she's very active and reactive. These incidents seem to happen at times my cat is real active, playing, running around, etc. I think she's aggravating Callie (the new cat)...

The owner did not call to claim her yet. The new problem that started last night is that the new cat is suddenly going after my residential cat. Since last night, there were 3 incidents where she went at my cat causing her to pee, scream, and then afterward, my cat is doing the howl or moan...

Vet visit today: they tested her for FIV and leukemia which are negative, so she's good! She is chipped, so I told them to contact the owner. Now we're waiting to see if he calls or not. I'll know in a few days. They only give the owner a few days to call back.

Update: New cat had no further bladder issues that night. I gave her extra water in her wet food to possibly help flush it out, and she was back to normal pretty quickly, so I didn't end up having to take her. Litterbox activity is normal since, and clumps are more or less normal. Regular vet...
