im looking for some help. sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.
our family has had a male black cat we got as a kitten for about 2 1/2 years. just today at lunch my dad brought home a new cat. im not sure how old it is, but it was born as a wild cat at the lumber yard my dad works at. he was able to get the trust of this cat and figured it would be a good idea to bring it home. my current cat has been very angry and anytime it has been close to this new cat it will hiss and snarl. im sure this is normal, but is there anything that can be done to help them get along?
since this cat has always been an outside cat living at the lumber yard it has never been to any vet, so im guessing it would be a good idea to take this new cat to the vet for whatever is needed.
is there any idea of how long it would take to get the 2 cats to get along? im sure my dad isnt going to want to take the new cat to the vet if these 2 cats arnt going to get along and he might have to end up taking it back to the lumber yard.
thanx for any help.
