Any advice would be appreciated. I adopted three unrelated spayed female cats about 8 weeks ago and am now having problems with two of them spraying/ marking territory. Two of the girls are the culprits, as I have witnessed them spraying in past two days. The other cat is mellow and gets along with everyone (fingers crossed). Poppy was feral for some time and spent her first six weeks here in her own guest bedroom, as suggested by the rescue organization. In the past two weeks, she has spent more and more time outside her room with the other two cats (they have the run of the house). I introduced her very gradually, as suggested, but in the last two weeks she has been very eager to explore/begging to leave her room, so that is when I started letting her roam with supervision. Poppy and Rudy, the larger of the other two cats, hiss and pounce on each other, but, once separated, settle down immediately and are completely unperturbed. However, I caught Rudy spraying yesterday in an area that Poppy doesn’t frequent, and today I saw Poppy spraying on a box directly next to her litter box in her room. I suspect that Rudy may have sprayed there first, but I don’t know for certain.
Any advice on ceasing this spraying and/or extending this introduction would be appreciated. All the cats are between 9& 18 months, all are spayed, all are friendly and well-behaved on their own...Poppy was the only one who had an extended introduction. Thank you in advance! I never had these issues with my old girls (RIP).
