so i have two cats
Harry, who is 6 years old, Russian blue 14 pounds (not fat but he is a big cat) and is not declawed. we have had him since he is 8 weeks old. I won't say harry is a mean cat because he is not, but if he doesn't wanna be touched he will let you know, he is known to hiss bite and scratch.
Galaxy, who is 2 years old, Calio 9 pounds, and is declawed (we got her that way) we got Galaxy July 18th, 2014, Galaxy is nothing like harry, sweet, lap cat, she doesn't hiss or bite
both strictly indoors.
Now, the problem is we have had Galaxy for almost 3 months, and they still are seperated, harry hisses and growls and tries to attack her if he even smells her, so we keep her in the guest room. we have tried EVERYTHING! feeding them when one on one side of the door, through our glass doors, baby gates, letting harry get used to her smell, even ask vets and animal behaviorist, and he is still hissing and growling. I don't know what to do, I love harry he was my first cat, but I've grown attached to galaxy, I don't wanna have to give one of them up. i want to let her out of the room permantly but I don't wanna risk harry hurting her, please help.
