I got a female adult cat (Miso) about a month ago and she lived in my apartment alone with me. About two weeks ago, I had to move back home with my male adult cat (Lestat) and dog.
So far.. Miso has been fine around the dog and ocasionally her and Lestat will sit next to each other or lay next to each other when taking naps. Several times a day though.. Lestat will attack her and bite her. They wake me up during the night doing this and I feel like I have to constantly keep an eye on them so he'll leave her alone. She has gotten to the point where she won't hide from him anymore and she finally just started jumping in my lap and letting me pet her. (Before she used to hide and hiss everytime I got near her. )Things would be perfect if Lestat would just leave her alone... but he is just so territorial I guess. Will he ever stop this? Is there a way to make him stop?
Should I wait it out or just let my mom take one of the kitties so they can be away from each other? My mom has three other female kitties that Lestat gets along with or Miso would be fine with I'm sure....
What should I do??
