So I’m becoming friends with one of the ladies in my apartment complex (she is a cat lover/owner to.) About a week ago I saw a cat outside my sliding hlSs door screen, about 5 feet from my door that Jackie was all riled up about/growling. I had to put him in the bedroom to be able to go outside to try to catch the kitty (coyotes in my area, it is not safe to be a stray kitty!!!) With treats I kinda shooed her home to her patio, knocked and found out she darted out the door. So today after his outside time of 90 minutes I gave him a quick walk. I saw Dora was out there, tied to a tree (with a bowl of water) to get her outside time. I let them see each other but made sure there was 3-4 feet between the cats if both went to the edge of their leashes. I was hoping he would be more calm on more of her territory so he wouldn’t feel threatened. She was completely calm but he was starting to, hunt her, growling & hissing. She responded with a few hisses but she was still calm. I picked him up and carried his growling punkness away.
Is this something I need to work on with him? He isn’t cat aggressive to the cats in my mom’s home but he has known them since he was a wee kitten of 4 weeks (well 2 of them and he is super close to the other two.... especially his brother ... though he does like his sister.) At my place he is the only cat. Still I don’t want him to be cat aggressive. * we go over to my mom’s usually on Friday , spend the night, come aback on Saturday.
If I should work on this, how can I work on it?
