We adopted Piri a feral kitten last year and she has become the most, loving, sociable(with us) funny cat. We have brought George into our home 3 weeks ago and he has a history of physical abuse. He is petrified and living in my wardrobe but is now using the litter tray and will take treats directly but cowers at sudden movements. Piri is upset. She has shown no behaviour changes but intimidates him, hovers outside the wardrobe and hisses or swipes at him if he shows his face. We are managing the situation by her having the run of the house in the day and him at night. We have supervised contact but he looks petrified and she looks angry. They will take turns licking the liquid cat treats of my finger but at a distance . Problem happens when my daughter sleeps at her boyfriends as Piri wants to sleep with me but remains on alert and pounces on George. Chasing cats down 2 flights of stairs calmly is difficult. Any suggestions on what to do? They are both gorgeous and can’t bear to give either up. Thanks.
