Hi,
I was put on the spot this morning by my landlord who had another tenant abandon their cat when they moved (a week or so ago) but the cat was found today and brought to me. I was assured that the cat has been to the vet regularly and all that so I took her in. Not knowing any better, I dumped my cat (Sam) who I've had almost 8 months now and the new cat (Sally) appx the same age as Sam together in the living room, watched them for a bit and all seemed ok...
MY CAT IS IGNORING ME NOW!!!!! He is much more pleased with his new friend and wants nothing to do with me. This is the first time I have ever merged two cats and have not a clue what to expect.
Finally to my question here..
Is it normal for the "original" cat to become so anti social and will he stop being so when the new has worn off the new kitty?
