I am having the same issues as you are. I adopted a 1 1/2 year old female cat about a month ago and our resident 1 year old male is still acting very aggressive with her. It’s awful because the new cat really wants to explore but I can’t let her out with our resident cat as he keeps biting her...
We’ve been doing the standard introductions she was isolated once hissing stopped through the door we opened it a crack until they could tolerate that then short face to face. It’s been about 2 1/2 weeks since we got the new cat. It appears to just be biting and yes he gets on her back and...
I have and 11 month old neutered mle and we just adopted a 1 1/2 year old spayed female. Things were going ok she was fine with him but he was still being territorial and a bully towards her but nothing to bad. He was blocking, staring, and only once when she was in the living room he meowed...
Trixie hides more than most we were told that they used to refer to her as the “upstairs” cat because it took her so long to come downstairs. Once she is comfortable I guess she is super sweet and loves to sit on laps, be held and is really playful it’s just giving her the time to warm up. I...
Sorry you had to return him if you do decide to get another kitten what we learned with ours is the litter box needs to be out in the open and even with it in the middle of the room ours would forget where it was we would have to remind him. They also sell a cat litter attractive to make them...
thank you for all the cat introductions help I will definitely try that but my question now is about when I should start. My new cat Trixie is super shy and her foster said she has always been that way and thinks she has anxiety. She hides under the bed all day but comes out and is so sweet at...
I don’t think he was trying to play he gave one of those awful cat fight meows and chased after her I grabbed him and put him in the bathroom before he could get to her. She won’t fight back she just runs and hides when he challenges her so I’m afraid they won’t settle the dominance issues she...
Thanks I hope so too! I think baby steps will do it I am optimistic. I just brought out her blanket she’s been sleeping on into the living g room and he’s laying on it now. Hoping the scent swapping of the room will make a difference
hi I’m hoping someone has some advice I have an 11month old neutered male named James and just adopted a 1 1/2 year old spayed female. We have set up her safe room and once the growling and hissing stopped through the door we let James into the room. They seem to get along fine there but when...
