I think these were all not good signs, some hissing and growling I know can be normal. But this was constant

Thanks I will do, just so stressed at the moment with everything

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.

Yes they are a lovely rescue, he will go as an only cat.

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

No t The rescue I got him from will take him back, it's in the agreement that you sign. They are lovely people

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...

She has been very stressed I had actually had to separate them again, as he had attacked her a few times. They say ibd which has been caused by stress, I was in the process of reintroduction when this happened and I separated them again. He is a confident active, dominant male, she is a quiet...

Hi, I posted here awhile ago about the difficulties I was having introducing my rescue cat to my resident cat. My resident cat was so scared she would hide on her tree and not come down at all with him in the room. I had tried everything. This was now 3 months in no change. Despite everything...

There's nothing wrong with wet food, it's actually better for them than dry as long as it's a good quality food.

Hi, I'm brought to tears reading your post as I find myself in the same position as you, having to make the heart breaking decision to return my rescue cat. I feel so guilty but I have tried everything and my resident cat is getting ill from the stress. I really don't think there is any hope...

Wouldn't be able to afford that, my vet says to give it time, and it could take up to six months. I just feel like we havnt made any progress at all.

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...

Oh my goodness don't get me started on the amount of money I've spent on all these calming products. Trust me to have cats that are immune, catnip also does nothing for Misty. The situation at present is that Misty will not come down when Smokey is in the room. I put him in my room at various...

They can be in the same room, but the problem is Misty will not come down when he's around and will hiss and growl whenever he goes near her. I must admit I'm probably protecting her to much, as if he trys to go near her I will divert his attention or tell him no and he will get down. On the...

Hi this is what I'm afraid of, Misty has changed since we got Smokey she sleeps more, will not come down if he's in the room, is eating less, is less affectionate and very nervous. She even hisses at us on occasion, I do hate seeing her so unhappy. It's so hard as we've had Smokey for about 3...

Yes I have tried Feliway plug in and spray doesn't seem to make any difference, I also have them on calming herbal drop.

Thank you nice to know I'm no alone, I am definitely working on not getting so stressed by it all. Just want a peaceful home again, hope to one day be able to post on here that everything has finally worked out. Either that or lose my sanity
