Hello everybody,
Here I am after a long while to ask for help. I have 2 black cats and couldn't find a better idea than to adopt an old girl with health issues. Now I wonder if I did the right thing.
You see, the picture I have in my profile were my beloved Lucky (white) & Yanny (black). These 2 were the best loving cats anybody cold have. Yanny passed away 3 years ago at 14, and Lucky followed her 2 years later at 21. After I lost Yanny I felt the need of a black beauty to love and be loved. I adopted another black beauty, that was nothing like Yanny but I love her never the less. Then Lucky passed and I thought Ginni was too lonely and adopted another black beauty Yogi bear (aka Bagheera, less than a year old and huge, mini panther). I had a full house with my two inside and my two strays that come inside to eat but prefer to be outside all day. Sudenly, a week ago I saw a post (actually a friend tagged me) of this white Turkish angora exactly as my Lucky, she's about 10 and my mom fell in love with her at first sight. Kiara is not that friendly, she hides most of the times. I have her in special food for her problem, and good for me, she likes that food and my other cats don't (it is awfully expensive) she already peed on my bed, bathroom rugs and couch. She uses her box, but she seems mad all the time. She doesn't want me or my mom get near her and we're giving her some space. Her owner passed away and went to live with the cousin, for few years, then the new owner had a kid and the boy became higly allergic to the cat, so she was placed for adoption. 3 month later the new owner placed her again for adoption, that's when I got in the picture. When I picked up the cat, she was obese and in regular food, so no good for her health issues, and also a very hyper toddler. I don't want to give up on her, nobody wants old sick babies. How long does it take for the food to help her? How long will it take to settle down? I need advises, what can I do to help her. My other two can't get anywhere near her because she hisses at them, not friendly at all. Did I make a mistake?
