8 months later and they can hang out on the back of the couch together without fighting.❤️
Sarabi is better and has been monitored very closely. She gets a couple supplements each day and they’ve helped immensely. We also make sure she feels safe and doesn’t get overwhelmed.
Thank you to...
I had a similar problem with my Bengal except it was one spot on the floor she kept going. The only thing that worked was a scatmat which delivers a static zap. (It’s not painful, I’ve tested it on myself) and it’s just enough to scare them away. This may be an option along with the carpet...
Thank you! We have both been really proactive with playtime for both kitties. Sarabi was feeling well enough to play yesterday and had a little bit of the zoomies. However, she still peed on the floor last night...soooo I'm not sure what that's about but it looks like for now I'll be getting a...
Thank you for that outlook! You’re right, she does relax when he is chilling and she doesn’t run every time she hears him coming. We have been vigilant with distracting him from her when he gets the crazies and he is starting to kind of get the picture. He wasn’t taught any manners because he...
so many people have recommended DaBird! I’m definitely going to have to try it. Our apartment is small but we just to make it enriching. Looks like Chewy.com will be getting more of my money in the near future lol!
My SO and I fight about Gus a lot. He had never had a kitten before as we got Sarabi when she was a year old already. He doesn’t understand that most of the time kittens aren’t just little jerks for the first year and the they will settle a bit. My cats in the past were all very confident and...
When he jumps on her she hisses and growls. But when he’s calm, she doesn’t mind him. They smell each other and sometimes when she’s feeling playful they will chase each other around. It will abruptly end if he decides to jump on her back.
Hi everybody,
We have a recent negative development.
After a sleepless Friday night trip to the emergency vet, Sarabi has been diagnosed with stress-induced cystitis. We think it’s caused by Gus always jumping on her and bullying her. He won’t leave her alone sometimes. :( I’m at my wits end...
2 months later and we made it!
thanks for everyone whohelped and gave me advice on introducing these two. They still fight sometimes but for the most part they play nice together.
I am so happy!
Bonus photo of Gus snuggling with me, as is his routine every morning.
Hey! I went thru a pretty similar situation when introducing a kitten to my 5 year old resident cat.
You can follow my thread here! I hope this helps a little bit.
I definitely notice a difference when the diffuser is plugged in versus when it’s not! And yes it’s ready had to play with a high energy Bengal and a high energy kitten at the same time:crazy:
He LOVES grabbing her tail. She is not a fan and bops him when he does it.
sometimes I have to remember he was orphaned very young and didn’t learn manners from his momma.
Lots of laughs, lots of yelling “Knock it off you two!” But every day I see more progress. 😊
