*Adorable pic!*Okay, back with some updates!
We tried the mesh door method, Lala only hissed a couple of times. She never came up to the door, but didn’t seem aggressive or afraid either, so we decided to let Georgie out for some supervised visits. We’re on visit #3 and Lala is still not loving it. She’s hissy and growly at both myself and Georgie. He has tried to approach her, but she instantly hisses. He doesn’t seem to be fearful of her, just interested. Lala seems to run away from him and get herself as high as possible.
We’ve tried distracting her with treats and play and it seems like she’s willing to participate with us, but can’t stand him. Attaching a pic of their latest interaction - she was growling, but he hopped up on the windowsill and just laid there. I tried to distract them both to alleviate any aggression and Georgie took the bait easily and hopped down to go explore. Is he being passive aggressive (can cats be passive aggressive) or friendly?
Any tips on how to help them transition? I so appreciate you all for listening to my anxious thoughts! View attachment 488863
IMHO you're wanting instant gratification when it actually just takes time, love, and patience. They're doing just fine. Keep up the good work and let them work it out. Three visits would be VERY rare for two cats to accept each other. It's taken up to a year in my furmily. Just know that they will eventually calm down and adapt.
