Hi guys, I'm new here. Hoping you all can help me out.
I have a 8-month old calico kitten. We live in a garden apartment complex, and there's an outdoor cat that hangs around. He's friendly, so I'm pretty sure he's someone's pet. Lately he's taken to jumping up on our window ledges to see my calico. He isn't being aggressive (ears forward, kinda head butting the window like he wants to play) but he's driving her bananas. She'll crouch down and growl/hiss till he goes away. We've tried closing the curtains but he just moves to the next window.
Any ideas on how to get her to relax when this cat comes around? Also, right before this started we had been talking on bringing in a second cat, but now we are rethinking that idea - is this indicative of how she'd act toward a kitten?
